"For nothing..."
Timing's a little funny.. after the fourth 0-7-9
you hit 9 as if to start again, slide down and pluck
the A and D, then slide back up. Each slide takes a beat.

-9---9---9---9---9\-7---| Repeat a bunch

"I found that the years passed us by..."
Quick hammer on the 2, and after the low G
note you finger 5th and 7th frets on the D and G strings.
Hit the single note at the end then slide up to the 9-7-0 stuff.

"..of sorrow"
Better prepare the first 9 with your pinky while your pointer
holds the 6 on the same string. Middle finger gets the 7.
There's a tricky little shift here, you switch from a power-chord
kind of fingering to barring the last 4 strings at the 7th fret.
The notes are played evenly but I spaced them a bit... makes it easier
to mentally group them and see the alternating notes at the 7th fret.
V shift around here

..and then the series of double stops.
Slide into the 11th fret one and start
hitting the open A note in between each.

------------------------|
-9---9---9---9---9\-7---| The second time around
--7---7---7---7---------| You go back to repeating this

That's all there is to it... cool song.
