|-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------------| The last chorus is a bit different from the first, one guitar plays the same riff as in the first chorus, guitar 2 plays some chords i won't find out. The 2nd time guitar 1 plays Riff 1b (!) and guitar 2 Riff 3 (the one after the 1st chorus). The song ends with riff 1. I think they use a capo on 2th fret for this song, but I transcribed it so u don't need a capo.. Riff 1 is much easier to play with a capo and in some riffs you can add one open string to make it sound more "full" (would be fret 2 without capo) Anyway I think that way is good enough.. END
