  Intro riff:                 Main riff: (Riff A)
G-|--------5-|-------5--8--5---5---5---------5--8--5---5---5---5-----------|
D-|--0h5h7---|-0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7---------7---7---5-------------|
A-|----------|-------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|----------|-------------------------------------------------------------|

1. Play the Intro riff 1x and then the Riff A 6x and then at the end of 
the
sixth time you switch to Riff B.

Riff B (one octave low)
G-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-|------3-------3--6--3---3---3-------3--6--3---3---3---3-----------------|
E-|--3h5-----3h5---------5---3-----3h5---------5---5---3-------------------|

G-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-|------3--6--3---3---3-------3--6----------------------------------------|
E-|--3h5---------5---3-----3h5-------3--3----------------------------------|


2. After that one time you switch back to the Intro riff 1x, Riff A
2x, then at the end of Riff A you switch to Riff B 2x, then the Intro
riff followed by this altered Riff A:


G-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5--8--5---10------------5---------------|
D-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7---------------7-7-7--5------------------|
A-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

G-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5/8\5-5-5-5-5-5-5-----------------------|
D-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7-----------------------------------------|
A-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

3. Intro riff 1x and Riff A 1x, then this second alternation of Riff A:

G-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5--8--5----------5----------------------|
D-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7---------7--0h5h7------------------------|
A-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

4. The last 0h5h7 is the Intro riff just in the end, and then Riff A
2x.  Riff B is after that 2x, and should be blended in when you end
that last thing (Nr. 3)

5. Middle: A couple of E-3 which then slides into E-15 and at the last
notes he bends it or hammers on a near note (16) or something, with a
small backslide at the end. Just fiddle around with it.

6. Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, with a slide at the end of the last time.

7. Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, Riff B 2x

8. Intro riff 1x and then this alternation of Riff A:

                                         /    *    \
G-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5-----22-22-22-\------------------------|
D-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7-----------------------------------------|
A-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

* 3D triplets somewhere down there at 22 or something, with a slide down.


9. Intro riff 1x and once again an alternation of Riff A:

G-|--------5--8--5---5---5---------5---------------------------------------|
D-|--0h5h7---------7---5-----0h5h7----5--6---------------------------------|
A-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|


10. Intro riff 1x, Riff A 2x, Riff B 2x, and then this ending:

G-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-|--15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---15---6---3-----|
E-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|

not sure if it's 6-3, but it's close enough.
