2. After that one time you switch back to the Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, then
at the end of Riff A you switch to Riff B 2x, then the Intro riff followed
by this altered Riff A:
G-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5--8--5---10------------5---------------|

3. Intro riff 1x and Riff A 1x, then this second alternation of Riff A:

D-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7---------7--0h5h7------------------------|
A-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
4. The last 0h5h7 is the Intro riff just in the end, and then Riff A 2x.
Riff B is after that 2x, and should be blended in when you end that last
thing (Nr. 3)
5. Middle:
A couple of E-3 which then slides into E-15 and at the last notes he bends
it or hammers on a near note (16) or something, with a small backslide at
the end. Just fiddle around with it.
6. Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, with a slide at the end of the last time.
7. Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, Riff B 2x
8. Intro riff 1x and then this alternation of Riff A:
/ * \
G-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5-----22-22-22-\------------------------|
D-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7-----------------------------------------|
A-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
* = triplets somewhere down there at 22 or something, with a slide down.
9. Intro riff 1x and once again an alternation of Riff A:
G-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5---------------------------------------|
D-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7----5--6---------------------------------|

10. Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, Riff B 2x, and then this ending:

A-|--15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---6---3-----|
E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
not sure if it's 6-3, but it's close enough.

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 PRIMUS 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.
