(very quickly now, the guitar and bass plays:

G|---------
D|---------  When the guitar plays the 6th fret (the Bb note), it also plays
A|-5p0-7---  a power chord on it and therefore from that note the guitar
E|-------6-  plays a series of chords that go:
Bb5   G5  G5/Bb   F5    C5    Bb5

Cool solo part:   A5   F    A5    F    G5    F     A
all I just did here was to write down the rhythm chords, I have and will not
do the solo (as little as it may seem).  If you listen to the album, you can
figure out how these chords come in.  The G5/Bb part is when the guitar
slides from G5 to Bb5.  Listen and you shall hear, my child.  Anyway, the 
rest goes something like this:
       D5             C5
If you see me getting mighty
       D5             C5
If you see me getting high
         Am   Em
Knock me down
Em(?)
I~m not bigger than life
       D5             C5
If you see me getting mighty
       D5             C5
If you see me getting high
         Am   Em
Knock me down
Em (?)
I~m not bigger than life
       D5             C5
If you see me getting mighty
       D5             C5
If you see me getting high
         Am   Em
Knock me down
Em (?)
I~m not bigger than life
       D5             C5
If you see me getting mighty
       D5             C5
If you see me getting high
         Am   Em
Knock me down
Em (?)
