For the weird bendy sound, just slide your finger up
the 5th string (G#, usually A) and bend a fairly high
fret up there 🙂
Then back to the main riff again for the chorus.
Then another verse and chorus, and then the song
changes, and gets interesting.
This riff is played a few times:
|—————|

|-2————|
|-2——9—8—|
|-0—0—7—6—|
Then this:

|—3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3/5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5——-|
Then repeat this a few times.

The back into the main riff and that is about it!
