E|-------------------------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0---2-2-2-2-2-2-2/5------|

play 14x

this comes in at the start of the 2nd time through the main riff and sounds like a muted acoustic and comes in again later in the song:

e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---19--14-14--14-17-17-16-12---12-17-17-16-12---12-17-17-16-10-12-14----|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

play 1x

This comes in at the start of the 3rd time through the main riff and lasts until the quiet part starts:

e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-15--12--14--10--15--12--14--10--15--12--14--10-------------------------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

play 4x

this is the bass part during the quiet interlude and through the whole song:

e|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|---4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--2-2-2-2-2-2-2/5---|

"there is a place that still remains" is where this starts; listen in order to get the timeing right as it progressively slows:

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---1---5-5--6-6--8-8-----------------------------------------------------|
G|---2---6-6--7-7--9-9-----------------------------------------------------|
D|---3---7-7--8-8--10-10---------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
