Taken from their forth-coming album In The Belly of The Brazen Bull, I've just had a 
quick stab at the chords for this- it sounds about ok to me!
I've put the chords as open, but I'm pretty sure they're played as power chords or barre chords.
The G bits in the verse are just two very quick hits of the G chord. Pretty simple really-
I prefer to play them as power chords, G5, C5, A5 etc, but you may prefer barred or open.

A few notes are played to finish (on the D string, 10th fret) C, B, Bb, and then 
feedback to end with.
Hope this helps- I can play the solo, but not 100%. I'm sure some of the better players 
on here may want to do that part better than I can, so I'll leave that to you!

The G bits in the verse are just two very quick hits of the G chord. Pretty simple really-
