I won't tab the next part, so you can figure it out yourself.
there's lots of harmonics and stuff...
it ends with this:

|-9-10-9-7--------------------------------------------|
|----------10-9-7-6-7-6-------------------------------|
|-----------------------7-6-4-------------------------|
|-----------------------------7-6-4-3-4-3-------------|
|-----------------------------------------5-4-2-------|
|-----------------------------------------------5-4-2-|


Riff E 2x: (* there is some harmonic here)
|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|
|-----------------------------|
|-7---------6-7-----7--9-7-11-|
|-9-9-9-9-9-7-9-9-9-9-11-9-12-|
|---------------------------*-|


|---------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------9-11-14-|
|-7---------6-7---------9-11-12---------|
|-9-9-9-9-9-7-9-9-11-12-----------------|
|---------------------------------------|


Riff F1 2x:
|------------------------------|
|------------------------------|
|------2----7---------2----4---|
|-4----2----7----4----2----4---|
|-4----0----5----4----0----2---|
|-2--------------2-------------|


Riff F2:
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|----------------2--2--2--|
|-4-4-4---4-4-4--0--0--0--|
|-2-2-2---2-2-2-----------|


Then comes the keyboard solo
during that guitar plays Riff E 2 times.

Play only the first two patterns of the chorus
and then:
|---------------|
|---------------|
|-2---------7---|
|-2----3----7---|
|-0----3----5---|
|------1--------|


then the end is just some fast lick from the Riff B scale.


h - hammer on
p - pull off
b - bend string up
r - release bend
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
~ - vibrato
t - right hand tap
x - play 'note' with heavy damping
(5)- harmonics
