This is the main part of the song, and is repeated lots.

A bridge section uses the G just hammered for a little bit...
e|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-0h3----|
B|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-0h3----|
G|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------|
D|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------|
A|--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-0h2----|
E|--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-0h3----|
For the rest of the song just improv in G and play the chords G/F/C
I think the scale being used is the mixolydian in G...
So, this scale...
