Tab for jimmy

There alots of little adlib bits and whatnot in the first verse that I'm
not going to tab. These are just the main parts.
Notation:
/ = slide
^ = bend
^r = bend, release
~ = trill/vibrato
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
|. .|
For riffs that repeat, I used the |. .| method of tabbing them. If
a riff seems disjointed, that's because you have to play it in an exact
loop.
The time listed above the riff is when the riff first appears in the song.
Dropped-D Tuning
Intro/Main Riff
G |.----------------------------------------------.|
D |.----------------------------------------------.|
D |--/12-0-0-0-3^--/12-0-0-0-5^--/12-0-0-0-1--/10--|
Riff 2 (1:06)
G |.---------------------------------------.|
D |.---------------------------------------.|
D |--0--10h12--0--12~~~---0--10h12--0--12^--|
Riff 3 (1:18)
G |.-------------------------------------.|
D |.-------------------------------------.|
A |---5------5\3-5------3/5-5---------3---|
D |-----0--0-------0--0-------0--0-1------|
Riff 4 (1:37)
G |.-------------------------------.|
D |.---3-----------3-------3-------.|
A |--5---5-3-5---5---5-3-5---5-3-5--|
D |---------------------------------|
In the "under a dead ohio sky" part, Adam is playing some sort of
D-based chord that he's bending. I'm not sure what it is.
Riff 5 (2:26) (I'm pretty sure at least)
G |.---------------------------------.|
D |.--12-12\-7-7--/10-10--0h8p7--5---.|
A |---12-12\-7-7--/10-10--0h8p7--5----|
D |---12-12\-7-7--/10-10--0h8p7--5----|
The bass goes crazy right after Riff 5. It sounds to me like the guitar
is just playing a muted D note at the fifth fret on the A string.
Right afterwards, the guitar plays something very similar to Riff 4.
Riff 6 (3:04)
G |.-------------.|
D |.-------------.|
A |--5---5-3-5^r--|
D |----3----------|
Riff 7 (3:38)
G |.----------------------------------------------.|
D |.--12-0-0-0-3---/12-0-0-0-5---/12-0-0-0-1--/10-.|
A |---12-0-0-0-3---/12-0-0-0-5---/12-0-0-0-1--/10--|
D |---12-0-0-0-3---/12-0-0-0-5---/12-0-0-0-1--/10--|
Riff 8 (3:57)
D ---/12------6-----3----5-------/12------6-----3--------
A ---/12------6-----3----5-------/12------6-----3------8-
D ---/12------6-----3----5-------/12------6-----3--/10---
D ---/12------6-----3---3h5-5-3--/12-----13----10-10-10-10-10-
A ---/12------6-----3---3h5-5-3--/12-----13----10-10-10-10-10-
D ---/12------6-----3---3h5-5-3--/12-----13----10-10-10-10-10-
Riff 9 (4:19) (I'm a little shaky on this one)
G |.--------------------------------.|
D |.--------------------------------.|
A |---5----------3--------3-------3--|
D |-----0-0--3/5---0-0--5-----0-1----|
