During the last three chords over "My way" (B C D) the following part is also picked. e -------------------------------| B ----------------(main riff)----| G -------0--------0--------0-----| ....continue with the main riff from here. D ---1-4---4-1------2--------4---| If you're playing solo, pick a spot to A -2------------3-----3--5-----5-| jump from the chords into the riff. E -------------------------------| (play main riff) Don't make a sound There's someone at the door They're probably pushing Freedom of whatever it is today Be quiet and hope they go away We're waiting for the We're waiting for the world to find somebody else To deal with all the scum End TAB This is just some extra stuff that gets thrown in as the chorus is repeated over and over again at the end of the song. There's a high guitar part that gets layered in near the end, and while I can't make out most of it, this is at least part of it. e -3-----------5-------6------| this part comes in on the word "deal" B -----1-----3---3---4---4----| in "...deal with all the scum."
