So the other tab is OK but doesn't quite sound right. I'm pretty confident in
this one so here it goes.

h: hammer on
p: pull off
s: slide
^: bend whole step
pm: palm mute

FINAL VERSE

Strum the chords from the earlier verses then same build up and break down

For the lead in the outro it's really just a jam you can play around with the G natural
occasionally throwing a F# in. You can play this over the earlier choruses too.
