Verse riff - Arpeggio w/ reverb and chorus
This is a bit tricky to play. Its easiest if you move the 2nd finger to the high e to
the sus4 note unless you have mad stretching skills.

Theres also a riff he plays over the arpeggio in the 3rd verse. Reverb and chorus again.

For the outro one guitar plays the above lead riff while a 2nd guitar plays these

Then its the bridge riffs again and then finish!
Awesome gothic tune and a great example of Mcgeoch's innovative approach to chords and licks.
