E -0---0---------------1-1---4-4-------------------



play riff 3 more times

 --generally, I think in the 1st&2nd chorus, for the

 first two (of four) playings of riff 2,

 don't play the last (third) C#5 chord, letting the

 second one sustain over the missing beat.  The

 3rd and 4th times through the first chorus and

 3rd time through second chorus, play it.



at the start of the next two measures, play

G ---  and let it hold.  I suppose if you

D -2-  got bored you could play the intro

A -2-  again and add some upper notes.

E -0-



play riff 1 twice



play riff 2 four times



but the fourth time play this -- change at the end:



E -----------------

G -8-8-8-7-7-6-6---

D -8-8-8-7-7-6-6-4-

A -6-6-6-5-5-4-4-4-

A -5---2-3-----2--       it if you have two.

E -3---0-1-----0--

   x   x   x   x  <-3 downbeats plus one for the start of

                      regular rhythm again



Now play Riff 1 twice for the last verse



Now play Riff 2 four times, but the 2nd time, a change at the end:



3rd chorus, riff 2, 2nd time through

                                   * * * * * *

A -2---2---0-0---1-1---3-3---6-6---6-6-6-5-5-5-4---

E -0---0---------------1-1---4-4-------------------



And for the 3rd chorus, never play the last C#5

chord.



And for a finale play

G ---  and let it hold.

D -2-  

A -2-  

E -0-





--> Note, as extra parts, up high there is some guitar

wailing, you can improvise, just follow patton's "let go"

mostly.  It's a high E and goes down to a D, with a

D sharp played concurrent with the main guitar's

E#5-D-C# chords -- see the asterisks in the 3rd chorus

riff 2 tab.
