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 other stuff
in the background (synthesizers, harmonicas, etc.) the following is an
approximation of the bass line: Slightly palm

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
before the 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:
E-|-----------------------------------------6b7-3-| B-|-----------------------------------------------| G-|--------------5-5-5---5-5-5--3-----------------| D-|--5--5-5--5---5-5-5---5-5-5--3-----------------| A-|--5--5-5--5---3-3-3---3-3-3--1-----------------| E-|--3--3-3--3---------------------3-6b7-3--------|

Then
you can go back into the bass line, and then experiment with 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.
