This is one bad ass song.

A 5 5 5\3 5 5 3 3 3 3\1 3 3 1 3 3 3\1 5
D 5
During part of the song, there is a variation...... That variation goes a little something like this...
E

A 5 5 5\3 5 7 8 3
D

CHORUS RIFF (RIFF FOUR):

E
B
G
D 3 3 3 0 3 3 0 3 0 3/5 5 5 5 5 5 8 8 8 12 0
A 3 3 3 0 3 3 0 3 0 3/5 5 5 5 5 5 8 8 8 12 0
D 3 3 3 0 3 3 0 3 0 3/5 5 5 5 5 5 8 8 8 12 0

For one part of the chorus, do this:

E
B
G
D 3 3 3 0 3 3 0 3 0 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 3 5
A 3 3 3 0 3 3 0 3 0 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 3 5
D 3 3 3 0 3 3 0 3 0 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 3 5
Then, there will be little things you will need for the song to play it exactly. For example, there is a pick slide at one part. Before

The 2nd chorus, palm-mute the bass strings open.

To start the bridge, use this "chord":

E
B
G
D 5
A 5
D 5

Then the bridge is something like this:

E
B
G 5 5 5\3 5
D 5 5 5\3 5 5 5 5/3 5 5 5 5 3 5 5 5 3
A 3 3 3\1 3 5 5 5/3 5 5 5 5 3 5 5 5 3
D 5 5 5/3 5 5 5 5 3 5 5 5 3
That's enough, don't you think? Have fun.

If you don't know where each riff goes, and how many times to play it,

I pity you.
