Riff 1
|-11-9-8--11-10-8--12-11-9-8-|
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|
|----------------------------|

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---------------|
|-5--3-2-1-0---------------|
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----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!

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official ANVIL tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
