==============================================================================
NOTE:
    If you're like me, your guitar only has 22 frets, so you'll have a hard
    time playing the D#6 and E6 notes in the second-to-last bar (23rd and 24th
    frets on the top string, respectively).

SOLUTION 1: (what I do)
    Play the last riff an octave lower. Replace the last 2 bars with this:

     E    E    E    E    E    Q        E    E    S  S  E    E    E    Q
e |-----------11----9---------9--------9---------9h11-11---12---11----9------|
B |--9---12-------------12------------------%--------------------------------|
G |-----------------------------------------%--------------------------------|
D |-----------------------------------------%--------------------------------|
A |-----------------------------------------%--------------------------------|
E |--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

     Q        S  S  W+Q*                                         H+E

B |-12-------14p12p11--------------------------------------------%-----------|
G |--------------------------------------------------------------%-----------|
D |--------------------------------------------------------------%-----------|
A |--------------------------------------------------------------%-----------|
E |--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

SOLUTION 2:
    Tune your guitar a full-step higher (i.e. F#/Gb tuning,
    F#2-B2-E3-A3-C#4-f#4 / Gb2-B2-E3-A3-Db4-gb4), then play everything shifted
    down by 2 frets.

SOLUTION 3:
    Play the song in a different key, or an octave lower. Feel free to submit
    an alternate version. I may do this, but don't plan to right now.

SOLUTION 4:
    Have a 7-string guitar with an added treble string. Assuming your tuning
    is E2-A2-D3-G3-B3-e4-a4, replace the second-to-last bar with this:

     E    E    E    E    E    Q        E    E    S  S  E    E    E    Q
