Verse 2 (The Ds you play on the A string should be palm muted except for the ones with
vibrato. Try to figure out some of the
pinch harmonics he plays.)

Prechorus
Same chords but different text:
They marched you in a uniform
You wore against your will.
With lies of hope and glory,
They taught you how to kill.
Chorus
Bridge (without guitar, guitar starts in with the F powerchord. The F,G and the first
bar of A are palm muted, the last one
not.)
After the Bbwar,
You thBbought you'd be a hDmero. Dm
BbAfter allBb that you suDmrvived. Dm
BbIf hell Bbwas meant for Dmheroes, Dm
Then you'd surely have arrived.

Use your whammy bar over the last two bars!
Guitar solo
Slow it down(e.g. with SlowMp3) to get the timing!
The hammer ons noted here are played faster!! (This is just how I try to play it)

Use whammy bar on the last note! and don't play it on the high e string. He plays that d
but as a pinch harmonic. You could try to get it on the D string between the eight and ninth
or between the second and third fret or on the G string right above the third fret.

If you can do fast picking on those last notes.
Hold the last bend, then play a bit with pinch harmonics on the fifth fret on the
D string and then on the G string (and use whammy bar of course).
Then it goes back to the chorus (which is slightly changed):

Then there is that small rythm part. I couldn't figure out what to play over that.
It ends with one guitar playing a D powerchord and a second doing something like a
D minor arpeggio in the 10 fret.
