Credit: to the guy who did all the hard work but got the music all wrong.
NOTE: I've been corrected in the comments and they are good so I will summarize them here.
The main correction is a minor voicing change - the e-string plays a G during both chords of the verse riff...the first and third times.
For verse 2, the C is played as I have written it below (e-string open), but the Fmaj7 is instead a F9 (substituting the E for a G on the e-string once more).
The difference is very minor - The F9 and Fmaj7 are functionally identical, the C is still a C, but the result is a slightly more cheerful-sounding accompaniment to the brutal ways to die, and as such helps sell that irony.
The other correction is the nomenclature for a tritone passing chord - I wrote F#5 to indicate the function of a vii/V. the comments say Gmaj7no3/F# (F#-G-D) which just means the composer only wanted the bass to pass in that beat instead of the vii/V.
Both corrections have been reflected in the music below.
