Tuning: Standard

There's a bootleg of this floating around on the torrents, I dunno if it's a demo or
but here's what I've got for it

Verse

These are the implied chords.

F#Maj G#Maj A#Maj C#Maj BMaj

e|------2-------4-------6--------9------7------------------------------------|
B|------2-------4-------6--------9------7------------------------------------|
G|------3-------5-------7--------10-----8------------------------------------|
D|------4-------6-------8--------11-----9------------------------------------|
A|------4-------6-------8--------11-----9------------------------------------|
E|------2-------4-------6--------9------7------------------------------------|


Also, at regular intervals through the verse, Mart plays this tiny riff, with or without
at different points.


F#Maj F#Maj G#Maj G#Maj A#Maj A#Maj C#Maj BMaj
e|----------|--------|--------|------|------|--------|------|-------|--------|
B|----------|--------|--------|------|------|--------|------|-------|--------|
G|----------|-----11-|--------|------|------|-----11-|------|----8--|--------|
D|----------|---11---|--------|------|------|---11---|------|-------|--------|
A|----------|--9-----|--------|------|------|--9-----|------|--6----|--------|
E|----------|--------|--------|------|------|--------|------|-------|--------|


Chorus

The chorus chord progression is the same as the verse progression; the chords are played
distortion by sweeping up from the top string to the bottom string.


F#Maj G#Maj A#Maj C#Maj BMaj
e|---2----|---4---|---6------|-------------------|---------------------------|
B|---2----|---4---|---6------|-------------------|---------------------------|
G|---3----|---5---|---7------|--/6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|-/9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9----------|
D|---4----|---6---|---8------|--/6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-|-/9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9----------|
A|---4----|---6---|---8------|--/4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-|-/7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7----------|
E|---2----|---4---|---6------|-------------------|---------------------------|


Bridge

The bridge sounds like it's just F#Maj over and over again

F#Maj
e|----2--|
B|----2--|
G|----3--|
D|----4--|
A|----4--|
E|----2--|


Synth/Guitar Duel Solo

This call/answer solo is pretty much the same as the verse fill. The only thing that
is the synth. The guitar just answers twice with this

e|--------|
B|--------|
G|-----11-|
D|---11---|
A|--9-----|
E|--------|
