E|———————————————————————————————————————————————————|
B|—10—————10—————10—————10——10——10——10———————————————|
G|—10h11——10h11——10h11——12——12——12——10h11————————————|
D|———————————————————————————————————————————————————|
A|———————————————————————————————————————————————————|
E|———————————————————————————————————————————————————|

Sometimes in live shows where they have the snare intro, Dave and Stefan open up with this:

E|———————————————————|
B|———————————————————|
G|———————————————————|
D|—12—10—9—7—5—4—2—0—|
A|———————————————————|
E|———————————————————|

Then, during Le Roi's (or I guess Jeff's now.....) solo, Dave plays a riff—type thing 
you can play in two ways:

E|———————————————————|       E|—————————————————|
B|———————————————————|       B|—————————————————|
G|—10—11/————————————|  OR   G|—4—5/————————————|
D|—x——x——————————————|       D|—4—5/————————————|
A|—11—12/————————————|       A|—6—7/————————————|
E|—9——10/————————————|       E|—————————————————|

Both sound good. That goes on live until it goes back to just snare and sax/violin, and 
the actual song starts (This is also the riff during the verse and solos):

E|—2—xxx————————————3—xxx————————————————————————|
B|—3—xxx————————————3—xxx————————————————————————|
G|—2—xxx————————————0—xxx————————————————————————|
D|—0—xxx—————4———4——0—xxx—————5—5/7——————————————|
A|————————4/5—4/5—0—2—xxx——4/5—5—————————————————|
E|——————————————————3—xxx————————————————————————|

Then if your band has two guitarists, and your lead wants to follow the bass and 
part at the end of solos/the intro, it's this:

E|————————————————————————————————————————————————|
B|————————————————————————————————————————————————|
G|————————————————————————————————————————————————|
D|—2h4/5—4h5/7—5h7/9—7h9/11—9h11/12———————————————|
A|————————————————————————————————————————————————|
E|————————————————————————————————————————————————|


The chorus riff goes something like this:

E|————2——3—————0—————————————————————————————|
B|————3——3—————2—————————————————————————————|
G|—4——2——0——4——2—————————————————————————————|
D|—4——0——0——4——2—————————————————————————————|x2
A|—2—————2——2——0—————————————————————————————|
E|———————3———————————————————————————————————|

Then, during the breakdown ("When all the little ants are marching..."), Dave plays this:

E|—————————————————————————|
B|—————————————————————————|
G|——4—44—4—44—4—444—444—44—|
D|——x—xx—x—xx—x—xxx—xxx—xx—|x4
A|——2—22—2—22—2—222—222—22—|
E|——3—33—2—22——————————————|

Then he goes back to the verse riff, and then the chorus. During Boyd's solo, they 
between a D and a G chord in that order. Then, they play the breakdown riff and then the 
riff, if you cant hear the change, it's:

Breakdown x4
Chorus x2

Then they play the verse and then end on a D chord. The changes are:

Guitar/Bass intro: x12
Jeff Solo: x4
Verse: x18
Chorus: x2
Verse: x8
Chorus: x4
Verse: x4
Breakdown: x4
Verse: x3
Chorus: x4
Verse: x4
Switch between D and G: as many times as you want, but the original recording was 4.
Breakdown: x4
Chorus: x2
Verse: x4

Then end on a D chord.

Hope this helped!
