Ok i?ve been all over the web trying to find this, but haven?t
seen anything but the solo, so i thought i?d do it by myself.
This is a rather tricky song to figure out, because of all small
licks, so everything might not be correct...

Use a delay,set at about 250 ms or so,plus a flanger to give
that ominous distorted sound that Eddie gets.
There?s bits of lyric to help you keep up.
Anyway, here goes:


Key:

b  : bend
bf : bend full
x  : noise
w  : whammy
pm : palmmute
(5): natural harmonic
\  : slide downwards
/  : slide upwards
T  : tap note (i never tap using the pick,
               finger-tapping gives a greater sound)

Intro:

|----------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------|
|-9-7-5-7-4-------9-7-5-7--2*b------17b19wbw---------------|
|-9-7-5-7-4-------9-7-5-7----------------------------------|
|-7-5-3-5-2-------7-5-3-5----------------------------------|
|-----------3bxxx------------------------------------------|

*:bend 2nd and start picking fast while sliding up to 17th fret without
  actually fretting,thus causing harmonics.

Then do this:

|-0-(5)-(5)-(5)-(5)---|     Strike harmonic at 5th then make noise on muted
|------x---x---x---x--|     strings g and b.The rythm may feel a bit awkward
|-----x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-|     at first,but you`ll soon get the hang of it.
