Tuning: Drop D (D,A,D,G,B,E)
Riff 1 (clean)E|-----------------------------------------------|B|-----------------------------------------------|G|-----6---------6---------6-----------------4h6-|D|-----7---------7---------7-----------4h6h7-----|A|-0-0----0-0--0----0-0--0----0--4h5h7-----------|D|-----------------------------------------------|
This riff continues through to the verse.
Play Riff 1 x4 "You stand with the gun in your hand..."
Riff 2 "One bang blood rush to the head..."E|---------------0------------------------------|B|----------------------------------------------|G|-----6-----------6------6-----------------4h6-|D|-----7------------------7-----------4h6h7-----|A|-0-0----0-0--0------0-0----0--4h5h7-----------|D|----------------------------------------------|
Or you can play Riff 2 like this (which I think this is how he plays it):E|-----------------------------------------------|B|-----------------------------------------------|G|-----6------------6------6-----------------4h6-|D|-----7-------------------7-----------4h6h7-----|A|-0-0----0-0--0-7*----0-0----0--4h5h7-----------|D|-----------------------------------------------|
It's a little harder with the harmonic there, but both ways sound almost
exactly the same, so you can play it either way you choose really.
Play Riff 2 x2

Play Riff 2 x2 "She hides all the pain inside..."
Play Riff 3 x2 "Life is beautiful..."

Play Riff 5 x1.5 (ends with the bend release pull-off thingy)
Play Riff 1 x1
Play Riff 2 x2 "Too weak, too weary to try..."
Play Riff 3 x2 (w/ distortion) "Life is beautiful..."
