Eirik plays the melody:

G|--------------------------------|------------4---4---------------|
D|--------------------------------|--------------------------------|

G|--------------------------------||4-----------4---4---------------|| (repeat)
D|--------------------------------||--------------------------------||
A|--------------------------------||--------------------------------||
E|--------------------------------||--------------------------------||
Main riff (Eirik gets the easy part for once :) Whenever he is not playing the melody, he is playing these chords.
e|0---------------0---------------|0-------------------------------|
B|1---------------7---------------|0-------------------------------|
G|4---------------6---------------|0-------------------------------|
D|4---------------7---------------|2-------------------------------|
A|2---------------5---------------|2-------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------|0-------------------------------|
Then near the end the picking patterns change in the right hand. The muted (x) notes are in typical KOC style, a muted down pick from the fingernails of the three fingers, which are playing the riff togther (i+m+a).
p i+m+a p i+m+a etc...

***Erlend***
Tuning; Standard (no capo)
In this song Erlend plays the shimmering layers on top. OK, it's also not too hard to play. Use some reverb.
