This riff is played inbetween/while jay sings
"The stone falls from your hand..."

This is the first 'heavy' part as best I can figure.
D-7-7-7-7-9-7-7-5-7-7-7-7-9-7-7-7-3*-0*-|
A-7-7-7-7-9-7-7-5-7-7-7-7-9-7-7-7-3*-0*-|
D-7-7-7-7-9-7-7-5-7-7-7-7-9-7-7-7-3*-0*-|

A-2--2-4-2-0-5*--7-10-|
D-2--2-4-2-0-5*--7-10-|
^ ^ strum both 8 times.

This riff starts at 3:07 and is the end of the heavy part.
D-10-9-12-14-12-10--12-10-14-15--10-10-10-12-9-7*-|
A-10-9-12-14-12-10--12-10-14-15--10-10-10-12-9-7*-|
D-10-9-12-14-12-10--12-10-14-15--10-10-10-12-9-7*-|
*= sustained note. You let the chord ring.

This is the chords played next.
They probably aren't perfect, but they're close.

D---------|-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|

This is the chords strummed over Jay's beephorn.
Also might be wrong, but close.
G-9-9-9-9-7-7-7-7-12-9-9-9-9-|-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-|
D-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-10-7-7-7-7-|-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-|

D-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-10-7-7-7-7-|-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-|

I think this is the last riff in the song:
G-9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-| |-0-|> strum this, but slowly
D-7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-| |-0-|> so you can hear each string
A-7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-| |-0-|> as you agitate it
D-7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-| |-0-|> it's muted, and it's a downstroke

And that's the end of this behemoth 6:49 tune.

If you play this, and it doesn't sound right, check your tuning.
Make sure you are playing everything right.
Listen to the song for strumming pattern/speed/number of strums.
