D------------------------------------------------------------------------
A------------------------------------------------------------------------
E--3-----------------3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-3--3-----------------3--3-3--3-3 and so on.....
these are some variations of the riffs from above
E------3--1--------------- --8--10-10-10------3--1-- --8--10-10-10--------------------
B--3-3-3--0-3------------- --8--10-10-10--3-3-3--0-- --8--10-10-10--6--6-5--5-4--4-3--

after several of those variations do this MAIN RIFF
E-3----------------------------------------------
B-3----------------------------------------------
G-4----------------------------------------------
D-5-----7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--9-9----7-9-9-9-9-9-9-9--
A-5---9-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7-7--9-5-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--
E-3---7-----------------------7------------------
while doing the riff above, do this little lead
to get the right tone, you might want to consider
using your fingers instead of a pick
E-------------------11--------16------------
B-------------10-12--------------12-14-15---
G--9-11-13--13--------9-11-13---------------
D-------------------------------------------
A-------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------
do this after each verse
then this solo and the whole time the main riff plays in the background.
when you see this ^ bend UP when the note is going higher, for example
11^13 and then when the note is going down, for example 13^11, you should
be on the 11th fret already and have the string bent up to the 13th and
bend it in reverse.
