 you could get away with just strumming the chords (this is just an idea)x4

A|----------------------------------------------------|-----------|--------|

 on 3rd time of this, replace this part---------------------^, with:
e|---7-----------------|
B|-----10-9-9-------9--|
G|-7----------10-10----|
D|---------------------|
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------|

 "Folding Wormholes"
 the rythym is just solid strumming, so it's not that hard to figure out
e|-12-|-10-|-8-|-7-|
B|-10-|-10-|-9-|-9-|
G|----|----|---|---|
D|----|----|---|---|
A|----|----|---|---|
E|----|----|---|---|

 this varies multiple times, but this is the structure:
e|-----------------------------------------------|
B|---------12-----10----------10-----------------| this is probably what
G|-9-10-12-----12-----9-10-12-----12-10--10-9----| omar plays
D|--------------------------------------------12-|
A|-----------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------|

 this part also is played differently multiple times...
e|-----------------------------------------|
B|-------------------5-5-5-----------------|
G|-------5-5-5-4-4-4-------5-5-7-7-4-4-----| and this is probably what paul
D|-7-7-7-------------------------------6-6-| plays...
A|-----------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------|

 what paul plays in this section in order:
 x4 - regular
 x2 - further up on the fretboard(+2) - play it 2 frets higher
 x2 - regular
 x1 - further up(+7)
 x1 - further up(+5)

 what omar plays:
 x4 - regular
 x2 - further up(x2)
 x2 - regular
 x1 - further up(x7)
 x1 - further up(x5)

 "Ten go away"
                             x4
e|-----------------------10-11-| omar
B|-13-10-12-9---10-12-13-------|

E|-----------------------------|

 same thing, just 1 octave lower... x4
e|-----------------------| paul
B|-----------------------|
G|-------------------7-8-|
D|-10-7-9-6---7-9-10-----|
A|----------7------------|
E|-----------------------|

 repeat "folding wormholes" part x2

e|---|
B|-0-|
G|-0-|
D|---|
A|---|
E|---|

 repeat part before semi-breakdown (this is when omar solos)
 repeat semi-breakdown x4
 repeat "folding wormholes" x2

e|------------|
B|------------|
G|-2--2--5--5-|
D|-0--0--x--x-|
A|-x--x--0--0-|
E|-2--2-------|

 repeat main riff x4 (including 2nd ending)
 repeat chorus along w/ "solo"
 repeat "folding wormholes" x1
