It's at this point when the guitars go bat****, and I couldn't even begin to fathom translating it.
You can mess around with the high end of the neck, or cop out and play the bass part:

(1:52)
C |--00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1--|
G |--00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1--|
C |--00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1--|
pm .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. .

Then play Riff 2, ending with:
C |--1-1-0-1-1--||
G |--1-1-0-1-1--||
C |--1-1-0-1-1--||
pm .


End. Hope it serves you well.
