I will not go to deep into the part for the acoustic guitar.
You can find the intro in the Tab-part. I will give you an
example how you can play it throughout the song:
Example: C-chord (alternate up and downstrokes)

============
Here follows the part for the palm muted guitar playing all the
small intervals throughout the song. Just hold the side of your
Hand-palm against the strings (near the bridge) to mute the strings
while using only downstrokes. Most of the notes are straight eights.
