There are of course a number of Eno sonic treatments not easily transcribed. Carlos Alomar does not repeat the riffs exactly each time through, but the basics are here. Have a listen to the recording to get a feel for the song. The tab written here is merely a guide to get started in the right direction with the lead guitar.
