1:18 chorus (simply a 4/4 version of the verse riff, with the measures 
switched. after the chorus is sang, this riff continues right into the next verse, 
which is in 4/4 and not the fucked up time signature like the first verse. also, in 
this verse, the guitars just double each other with slight variations.)

2:05 here, the chorus is sang over the bridge riff

2:54 interlude- to accurately replicate with one guitar, stretch pinky to 
reach major 3rd note the fourth string. it may be a bitch, but it sounds good. listen to the song for the strumming pattern. this is in 6/8 time.

3:42 outro- same fucked up time signature from the beginning of the song, 
same riff as well, but as with the first verse, it the two measures are switched 
around. the same layering of the two guitars as in the intro is done as well.
