I normally look at live performances where it’s either played differently (this isn’t), or the part might be more prominent in the mix. This video has a camera on the keyboard during the run down, and you can slow down the playback to see the finger movements:

All on the top 4 strings so haven't bothered drawing the A and E strings
each played twice…
So on guitar like this -

that live version sounds slightly different. there’s a bluesy note in there.
We do it in D for the sake of the poor singer’s voice, but transposed what he’s written is spot on. You could also just do it with single notes on the lower string.
You can see them trying to find the groove and floundering! poor monitoring?
Anyway for that part ...yeah - I'd approximate it with descending sixths... or thirds - which is a bit harder? (which seems to be the approach Albert C is doing above). It's close enough for rock and rock. Kick on the boost pedal and make it stand out.
This is one those instances where you could fixated with a small part of the song and miss the bigger picture of getting the swagger and groove of it down (which seems to have alluded Woody and co. above here!).
