The song goes like this:

Riff 1 1X
Solo 1 together with Riff 1
Riff 2
Riff 2 together with Fill 1 over the C chord, the chords are Am C G and Em
and the second guitar also plays some of the notes in Riff 2 in different
octaves. I usually randomly play them once in a while.
Fill 2
Riff 3 (2X)
Fill 3
Solo 2 together with Riff 2
Fill 2
Riff 3 (2X)
Fill 3
Riff 4 followed by Fill 4 (a few times, as long as you enjoy singing)
Riff 4 together with Fill 5
Riff 4 followed by Fill 4 (a few times, as long as you enjoy singing)
Riff 5
Fill 4 or 5 (play what you feel like and try other notes with the same
rhythm)
Riff 5
Fill 4 or 5
Riff 6 (2X)
Solo 3 together with Riff 6 (when the solo starts fading away I usually
slow down and play Riff 6 once again before ending, listen to the version
of the song they played in Woodstock)

Although I claim credit for this tab, I must say I used a MIDI version as
guidance.
