                                           know the second time the
  |P.M.|                                    note is a 2-octave A

A|-------------5--4--2---2--4------|         listen up and you can

E|-----------------------------------------------------|
 
right after that riff hit a bunch of C#'s then a huge D --
            here we go! !
 
      This is the MASSIVE RIFF for the chorus            (right before
   P.M.                                                   the verse starts)

E|--0-0--6-------0--5-------0--4-5-------|            --6-7-7---76--|
 
that chord in between the end of the chorus riff and the verse is a hard F#
 
  the verse riff is just a palm muted progression of notes-
               it goes from E to G# to E to A#
 
     P.M.----------           1st time only

     this riff's kinda tricky -- it's hard to keep the D# staccato

G|------------------------------| this part's very strange
D|------------------------------| to look at, just listen
A|-6-6-----6/7\6--66-----4------| to get the feel right
E|-4-4--0--4/5\4--44--0--2-0--0-| (also, I think that slide
                                   from G# to A may
                                    actually be a bend)
 
then do a chromatic descent from A# into the blitzkrieg!
 
ok, solo's next-- you guys are on your own for that baby!!
           There's a lot of cool bends and a TON of stretching involved
 
I suppose the last thing is the chorus and that descending Eb thing--
there's a harmony that's something like this on the last time--
 
                                         RIGHT!
