Focus on the lower 4 strings (E,A,D,G) for A and B, the middle 4 for D and E,
Alternatively, you can try hitting really hard with distortion and let it ring

Treat -- as 1 count, - as 1/2 count, no rests for guitar 1, it should match up

Chorus (x2)
Intro (x1.5, play the set of chrods three times)
End on the A.

Heads up:  Guitar 2 throws in a few quirks, like playing the next octave up 
           chord in the chorus a few times.  Just listen for 'em, they're easy

Whew!  I hope this is right.  This is my first written tab...
Rock on, Jam your heart out, Win some girls', or guys' heart (jk)!
GOD BLESS!!!
