Ok, so I'm not too sure about this high pitched bit, but hey,
I'm only human.

Riff 2
|--------------------------|

|-7--5-4-3-2---------------|

Comes in when first bit has been played about three times.

Riff 3
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|-2-3-5-7-8----------------|
|-0-1-3-5-6----------------|
Basically, this is the ending of riff 2.

Riff 4, main riff

|-------9----9----9----9-----|
|-0h5h8-7----7----7----7-----|
|---------00---00---00-------|
          **   **   **
This bit first then 4a. Endings are the same.

Riff 6

|-2----2-1-xx-2------------|
|-0--------xx-0------------|
Over this the second guitar plays this bit I think one octave higher.

Riff 7
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|-4-7-5-9-7-10---------------|
|-2-5-3-7-5-8----------------|
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
One guitar plays this while other does solo-ish bit.

Repeat riff 4
Repeat riff 5
Repeat riff 4
But the ending of riff 4 here sometimes becomes this:
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|--------------------------|
|-10-----------------------|
|--------------------------|
Just listen to the song for this. The sequence is: ending 1, ending 2, ending 1, this one, ending 3. This also has the second
solo.

From then on riff 4 first goes faster and faster, with more palm muted 0's on the E and finally grinds to a halt.

That's it!
