For the instrumental interlude after the chorus, repeat the second half of the riff.

There is also a simple rhythm part repeated through the chorus and instrumental:
E|-6-6--6-6------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|-6-6--6-6------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|-5-5--5-5------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 

And so on until the solo.

On the album it's all played sliding, using one finger, on one string:

E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|-1/13-13-13-13-11-8\5--11-11-11-10-8-5-5/6\5-3\1---------------------------| 
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
A|-15-13-15b17-/8\-/15-/20-17------------------------------------------------| 
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| 

The rest of the solo is just repeating those sections.

You can also play it this way, which is easier:
