This part is very heavily distorted on the Live album. I can't really tell what Marcos is doing.
Try something like this (With periodic rakes in between.):
E|-----------------

G|-----------------
D|-0-1-1-2-0-1-1-2-
A|-0-1-1-2-0-1-1-2-
E|-0-1-1-2-0-1-1-2-
The "I can't do a thing unless I'm living for the King" part is just bass.

Then outro is this:

A|-4-4-1-1-1-4-4-1-1-1-0-

The Marcos throws on a, I guess, chorus/flange/wah-wah pedal. And plays some, I think, reggae style chords.
I don't have a clue what he's playing.
