INTRO:
Guitar1, (clean)
|-A--Em--G-| The G is played like: |32003x| except 3rd time where
its played like |320033|. The fills are below:
Then comes:
Guitar2, (distorted)
| |
| 2 2 2 2 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 |
| 2 2 4p2 2 0 2 2 2 2 4p2 2 2 2 2 2 2 |

| 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 |

Then both guitars play G then D/F#, these can be played in two different
ways either as open chords: G |320033|, D/F# |200232| or as barre chords:
G |355233|, D/F# |254232|.
The majority of the song revolves around A, G, and D/F#.
Guitar2 continues playing this progression:
|--A----G--D/F#--A----G--A----G--|
During the beginning of this, Guitar1 plays a little solo:
| |
| |
| 6> 6 6hbhr6h7r6 |
| 9 7/(14) 12 11 12 11 |
| *12hbhr *12> |
| |
And where the progression above holds on the G chord twice there is
a G note played on the 5th fret of the D string in unison.
Guitar2 then repeatly plays Riff1 until the quiet part:
Riff1:
|-A--G--D/F#-|
Under the progression there is a little riff:
| |
| |
| |
| 5 5 4> 5 5 4> |
| 4 5 7 4 5 7 4 5 4 5 4h5p5 |
| 5> 5 7 5> 5 7 5 |
Now when Riff1 stops on the D/F# chord, slide up the F# note
on the 2nd fret of the low-E string to a G note on the 3rd
fret of the same string while partially muting the other strings.
Riff1 continues and this solo is played over it:
| |
| 10> 8h10p8 8/14> |
| 10> 9 11> 11 |
| 11h12 11 9 11 11h12p11p9 |
| 12 |
| |
| |
| 16hbhr 14*14hb>> 17fbfr (18) |
| ^ mute with another finger |
| |
| |
| |
Now the quiet part comes in. It's just the A, G, D/F# chords
played over, but arpeggiated with certain notes left out.
A G A G A G D/F# G

- - - - - - -
Now Guitar2 starts playing Riff1 again.
These fills are also played over it:
| |
| |
| |
| 12p11p9 11p9 /11 12 14>> |
| 10h12 10 9h10p9> |

| 4 5 7 4 5 7 4 5 4 5 4h5p5 |
| 5> 5 7 5> 5 7 5 |
Riff1 ends on A and the song slows down again playing
This Riff2:
| |
| |
| 0 0 0 0 |
| 9 0 11 12 11 9 11 9 9 0 |
| 10 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 9 |
| |
^-------------------------------^-------Riff2 repeats.
And this solo comes during Riff2:
| |
| 19fb |
| 16fbfr 14>> X\ |
| 5>> 7>>> 5 5 /9 /11 /14> X\ |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| 18h19r18h19r18r16h18r16h18r16 X\ |
| X\ |
| |
| |
The X\'s are pick slides. The first pick slide should be fast and
over the pickups on the indicated strings, this should give a
similiar sound. The second is a tad bit slower well in front of
the lead pickup.
Riff2 then continues with distortion, and the song ends on an A chord.
