Opening riff is the same but riff into verse I us e: E ----------------- B ----------------- G -------5-7------- D ---7-7----------- (or could use 2 2; 0 2 up a string) A ----------------- E ----------------- For the verses I use the riff: PM........| PM...........| -------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- ----2-----2----4-4-4-4-2-----4---4-4-4-4-2-- -------------------------------------------- --0-----4----------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- 2nd part of verse ------------------------- ------------------------- --6-6---7-7---8-8---7-7-- --7-7---7-7---7-7---7-7-- repeat --0-0---0-0---0-0---0-0-- ------------------------- 3rd part of verse PM.....| PM..........| PM..| ------------------------------------- ----------5-5--------------5-5------- ------4-4-----4-4------3-3-----3-3--- --0-0--------------0-0--------------- repeat ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- ------------------------- --9-9-9-7---9---9-9-9-7-- --9-9-9-7---9---9-9-9-7-- --9-9-9-7---9---9-9-9-7-- ------------------------- ------------------------- chorus lightly palm muted ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- ----2---2-2------2---2-2------4---4-4------2---2-2--- --2---2-----2-/3---3-----3-/5---5-----5-/3---3-----3- ----------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ ----1---1-1------2---2-2------1---1-1------2------5-7- --2---2-----2--2---2-----2--2---2-----2--2----7-7----- ------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------ I usually just bend 17 on the B string followed by sliding the pick up and down the A and D strings for the solo break back into the intro riff. There is an extra 999/777 riff before the final chorus. The outro riff I just play the chorus chords as full chords ---------------------------------- ---------------------------------- --2---------2---------4---------2- --2---------3---------5---------3- repeat and fade --0---------0---------0---------0- ---------------------------------- This was from memory so I might have screwed a couple of numbers up. Hope this helps. Chad
