At the start power chords are used. The song opens with the E chord played on the 7th fret of the A string : 
                        
              E
    G |--9--|
    D |--9--|
    A |--7--|
 
This is obviously held for a while. Then the main chord sequence and lead guitar come in.

Then it goes into the acoustic bit.

The lead guitar then plays rhythm part I, while the rhythm guitar plays rhythm part II:

Then the original chord sequence and lead line start off again. That`s about it for the most of the song, apart from the solo
which is played over the original chord sequence.
