Note: Although I have put spaces in between these chords,
there is no break; it just makes it easier to read.

On the second time you play this riff, do a slide up the
neck on the last note.

The next part of the song isn't really constructed with riffs,
but instead with big long passages. I will try to tab the next
part in sections where possible to make it easier to follow.

Play the next Riff twice, and do a big slide up and down
the neck afterwards.

Well, there was that big long passage I was telling you about.
This next Riff is really wierd. I figured it out, but I still
don't fully understand the timing of some of it.

|--2---2-2-----2---2-2-------|
|-2-----0---3-2-----0--------|

This next Riff is played under the big drum roll, and
throughout the solo. I will tab the solo's at the end
of the song.
Riff 8

|---0------0------0------0----|
|--2-2-2--2-2-2--0-0-0--0-0-0-|
|-----2------2------5------4--|
|-0------0------3------2------|
The next Riff is played twice. Once before the 2nd solo,
and once after it. It is the outro Riff to the song.
Riff 9
|-------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------1-----1------------------------------|
|----0------0----0--0--0--0-----0-----0------0------0---|

|-0------3-------------------0-----0------3------2------|
This is the last Riff. It is played underneath the 2nd solo.
Riff 10
|------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------|
|---0-----0------0-----0------0-----0------0------0----|
|--2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-2--2-2-2-2-2-2--0-0-0--0-0-0-|

|-0-----0-------------------0-----0------3------2------|
Now to finish the song off, you just go back and play Riff 9,
then end it on an "E minor" type chord. Now I will tab the
two solo's.
