Play riff 1, riff 2, riff 1, riff2 followed by a few strums on a G5 chord (355xxx)
Then, throughout the sound in various places with otherstuff in the background (synthesizers, harmonicas, etc.)the following is an approximation of the bass line:Slightly palm muted:E-|-------------------------------------------|B-|-------------------------------------------|G-|-------------------------------------------|D-|-------------------------------------------|A-|--------3-------------------3--------------|E-|--3--3-----3--6b---3-1---3-----3---6b--3---|
| 1/2 fret bend Also in the background is occasional short appearences of part of a different G5 chord (xx00xx). Listen to the recording if you want to try to throw those in. Those eventually lead into the following:

Then play riff 3 again and really hold on to that last vibrato, almost trying to push it to feed back.Then you can go back to the bass line until right beforethe next verse starts when you can intro with:E-|-----------------|B-|-----------------|G-|--7--7--2b3--0---|D-|--7--7--2b3--0---|A-|-----------------|E-|-----------------|
Then there is nothing new until you hit the following:

Then you can go back into the bass line, and then experimentwith this little lead lick that gets thrown in:E-|--------------------------------------------------|B-|--6b8vvvvvvvv--(8)rb6p3---------------------------|G-|------------------------3--5b7rb5p3p0---3vbbb(5)--|D-|--------------------------------------------------|A-|--------------------------------------------------|E-|--------------------------------------------------|
After that, there is nothing that is really new (just listen to the recording to get the exact locations of everything). What I have already given you should cover everything but the solo. Here is my feeble attempt at this solo: (I think a little echo is mixed in with it)

By the way, the 't' in that is for tremolo picking (just pick as fast as you can through it). As far as that second to last line of the solo goes, I'm sorry it sounds so wrong. If anyone knows something that sounds better (wouldn't take much I presume) either post it or send it to me. I'd appreciate it. Questions, comments, additions, and corrections are always welcome. Have fun with this one.
