[INTRO ]
(0:06 - 0:26) 
D|--2-------------5-5--3-3--3-3--| A|--3 (let ring)--3-3--3-3--4-4--| F|-------------------------------| C|-------------------------------| G|-------------------------------| C|-------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------| F|-----------------------------------| C|--5/7-7---5/7-7---3/5-5---3/5-3----| G|--3/5-5---3/5-5---1/3-3---1/3-1----| C|-----------------------------------|
(0:26 - 0:39) One guitar then does this:
D|--------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------| F|--------------------------------------| C|--------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------| C|--0-000000-0-000000-0-000000-0-etc----|
x xxxxxx x xxxxxx x xxxxxx x And the other comes in and harmonises/rings over the top with this:
D|---------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------| F|---------------------------------------| C|--7--------7----------7--------7-------| G|--5--------5----------5--------5-etc---| C|---------------------------------------|
AWESOME RIFF (0:39 - 0:53) - Play around with this if on your own or with another guitarist. I like to play the final few notes of each riff as chords, but I think the recorded version is just the single string throughout much of this.
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------| F|--------------------------------------------------------------------| C|-------------------(7)-(5)-(7)-(5)------------------(7)-(5)-(7)-----| G|----5-3-5-3-5/10-8--5---3---5---3----5-3-5-3-5/10-8--5---3---5------| C|--0--------------------------------0--------------------------------|

(0:53 - 1:00) This bit again:
D|--------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------| F|--------------------------------------| C|--------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------| C|--0-000000-0-000000-0-000000-0-etc----|
x xxxxxx x xxxxxx x xxxxxx x VERSE (1:00 - 1:26) Palm Mute the Opens
D|---------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------| F|---------------------------------------------------------------| C|--5/7-7---------5/7-7----------3/5-5----------3/5-5------------| G|--3/5-5---------3/5-5----------1/3-3----------1/3-3------------| C|--------000000--------000000---------000000---------000000-----|
Finish with this:
D|-----------------| A|-----------------| F|------------5----| C|--3-5-2-----3----| G|--1-3-0----------| C|-----------------|
CHORUS (1:26 - 1:52) There are a few little differences at the end of each 4 bars as follows:
D|-------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------| F|-------------------------------------------------------| C|----7-5-7-----7-5-7-5----7-5-7----7-5-12-10------------| G|----5-3-5-----5-3-5-3----5-3-5----5-3-10-8-------------| C|--0---------0-----------0--------0---------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------| F|-------------------------------------------------------| C|----7-5-7----7-5-7-5-----------------------------------| G|----5-3-5----5-3-5-3-----------------------------------| C|--0--------0-----------7----6--5-3---------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------| F|-------------------------------------------------------| C|----7-5-7---7-5-7-5----7-5-7----------5-3--------------| G|----5-3-5---5-3-5-3----5-3-5------3-5------------------| C|--0--------0----------0--------5-7---------------------|
(Funk up the last 4 notes with palm mutes etc this time)
D|-------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------------| F|-------------------------------------------------------| C|----7-5-7----7-5-7-5-----------------------------------| G|----5-3-5----5-3-5-3-----------------------------------| C|--0--------0-----------7----6--5-3---------------------|
(1:52 - 1:59) This bit again:
D|--------------------------------------| A|--------------------------------------| F|--------------------------------------| C|--------------------------------------| G|--------------------------------------| C|--0-000000-0-000000-0-000000-0-etc----|
x xxxxxx x xxxxxx x xxxxxx x VERSE (1:59 - 2:39) Same again as already tabbed but the intro bit is layered over the top too. Also at around the 2:26 mark the open palm mutes are not played. MIDDLE 8 (Sort of) (2:39 - 3:05) This bit is all very 'ringy' - listen for timings etc
D|---------------------| A|---------------------| F|---------------------| C|--12---8---7--10-----| G|--12---8---7--10-----| C|--12---8---7--10-----|
Then the second guitar joins with this. I'm not 100% sure of this bit to be honest, sounds a little out of key at points but I cant get it right - it works but it does need re-doing.
D|---------------------| A|---------------------| F|---------------------| C|--14---10--9--12-----| G|--12---8---7--10-----| C|---------------------|
AWESOME RIFF (3:05 - 3:31) This has already been tabbed previously but there is a slight variation on the last few bars (starting at 3:20) as follows:
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------------------------------------------------------------------| F|--------------12--10-----------------------------12-10---------------| C|---------------------(7)-(5)-(7)-(5)--------------------(7)-(5)-(7)--| G|----5-3-5-3-5/10--8---5---3---5---3----5-3-5-3-5/10--8---5---3---5---| C|--0----------------------------------0-------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------| A|-----------------------13-------------| F|--------------12--12^-----12--10------| C|---------------------------------12---| G|----5-3-5-3-5/10----------------------| C|--0-----------------------------------|
CHORUS (3:31 - 3:58) Same again - slight changes but just listen for them SOLO/OUTRO (3:58 - 4:26) One guitar does this for a while:
D|----------------------------------| A|----------------------------------| F|----------------------------------| C|--10-/7-7------7/5-5--------------| G|--8--/5-5--x3--5/3-3--------------| C|----------------------------------|
The other guitar is twiddling around with something like this (sorry Im terrible at solos)
D|------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------15-14-12-15-15^-15-| F|--12-(lots of bending)-10----------------12-----------------------------| C|-------------------------12--12-15-12-15---15-12-10---------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------------------------| C|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
(4:26 - 4:56)
