During the last pre-chorus, riffs 4a and 4b are extended by one bar of E5-chords. Everything is pretty straight-forward, the solo is harmless so to speak and most of the fills are too. Only the outro solo gets a little fast. Key: / = slide up \ = slide down b = bend (whole step) b^ = bend (1/2 step) b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps) pb = pre-bend r = release-bend t^ = tap with righthand finger h = hammer-on p = pull-off ~ = Vibrato * = Natural Harmonic #(#) = Trill ** = Artificial Harmonic x = Dead notes (no pitch) P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes) (\) = Dive w\bar (/) = Release w\bar Tp = Tap w\plectrum Rhythm Fig. 1 D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| F|----------------5------------------------5-----------------------------| C|--------------------7----------------------7~--------------------------| G|--3-3-5-5-6-6-7--------------3-3-5-5-6-7-------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| P.M. - - - -> P.M. - - -> Rhythm Fig. 2 D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-------------------------------------------------3---------------------| F|----------------5------------------------5-------0---------------------| C|--------------------7----------------------7~----0---------------------| G|--3-3-5-5-6-6-7--------------3-3-5-5-6-7---------x---------------------| D|-------------------------------------------------3---------------------| P.M. - - - -> P.M. - - -> Rhythm Fig. 3 D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| F|-----------------------------------------------------------------------| C|-------------------------2---------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------5-2---------------------------------------------| D|---7-6-5-3-5-3-5-3-5/7---0-------0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-----------| P.M.
