The verse riff if just a simplified version of the main riff:

e|---------------|
B|---------3-1-3-|
G|---------2-2-4-|
D|---------0-3-5-|
A|---------------|
D|------0--------|

The solos are different variations on this scale:

e|-13-12-10------------------------------------------------|
B|----------13-12-10---------------------------------------|
G|--------------------13-12-10-----------------------------|
D|------------------------------13-12-10-------------------|
A|---------------------------------------13-12-10----------|
D|------------------------------------------------13-12-10-|

Here's an example of one of the solos:

e|----------------------------------------|
B|----------------------13~---12~---10~---|
G|----10-12-10----------------------------|
D|-12----------12-10-12-------------------|
A|----------------------------------------|
D|----------------------------------------| (~ = let ring)

I haven't gone through the whole song to figure out each piece of the solos, but
he usually ends each verse with a different solo. If you stick to the scale most of,
if not all, the notes are there. It's basically the same notes as the main riff, but
higher.
