While you keep doing Fill 1 another guitar needs to start doing this:
*-(drums in)
||------|------|------|-----|-- ||------|------|------|-----|-- ||------|--6---|-10---|-6---|-- ||-11---|--7---|-11---|-7---|-- ||-11---|--7---|-11---|-7---|-- ||-9----|--5---|-9----|-5---|--

*-(begin Fill 2 on second guitar)
--------------------------------------------------------------| --------------------------------------------------------------| 10-10-------10---10-10---------10-10-------10---10-10---------| 11-11-x-x-x-11---11-11-x-x-x-x-11-11-x-x-x-11---11-11---------| 11-11-x-x-x-11---11-11-x-x-x-x-11-11-x-x-x-11---11-11---------| 9--9--x-x-x-9----9--9--x-x-x-x-9--9--x-x-x-9----9--9--x-x-x-x-| ----------------------------------------------------| ----------------------------------------------------| 6-6-------6---6-6---------6-6-------6---6-6---------| 7-7-x-x-x-7---7-7-x-x-x-x-7-7-x-x-x-7---7-7-x-x-x-x-| 7-7-x-x-x-7---7-7-x-x-x-x-7-7-x-x-x-7---7-7-x-x-x-x-| 5-5-x-x-x-5---5-5-x-x-x-x-5-5-x-x-x-5---5-5-x-x-x-x-|
Then the vocals start with the "Breathe in, breathe out" stuff and you start
that main riff over again. Then the lead bit over the first chorus ("Got a
machinehead, it's better than the rest" etc.) is like so:
|-----------------| |-4h5-5-5-4h5-5-5-| repeat and crescendo until "I walk from my machine..." etc. |-----------------| |-----------------| |-----------------| |-----------------|
I think that's it as far as tab goes.
The main chord progressions for the verses and choruses are as follows:
Verse: C# and A
Pre-chorus: ("I walk from my machine..." etc.) F# and A
Chorus: ("Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest..") E B C# A
I think that's it. If I've missed something and you can't figure it out from
what I have here, let me know (by email) and I'll get back to ya'.
Questions/comments/CONSTRUCTIVE criticism welcome (by email).
Flames intelligently rebuked (if I feel like it).
Good Luck!

after you did that you just strum those same cords a couple of times
it goes something like this (guitar 2)
figure 1
e: ------------------------------------------------------------------- B: ------------------------------------------------------------------- G: ------------------------------------------------------------------- D: --11--11--x-x-x--11--11--x-x-x-x--11--11--x-x-x--11--11--x-x-x-x--- A: --11--11--x-x-x--11--11--x-x-x-x--11--11--x-x-x--11--11--x-x-x-x--- E: --9---9---x-x-x--9---9---x-x-x-x--9---9---x-x-x--9---9---x-x-x-x--- e: ------------------------------------------------------------------- B: ------------------------------------------------------------------- G: ------------------------------------------------------------------- D: --7---7---x-x-x--7---7---x-x-x-x--7---7---x-x-x--7---7---x-x-x-x--- A: --7---7---x-x-x--7---7---x-x-x-x--7---7---x-x-x--7---7---x-x-x-x--- E: --5---5---x-x-x--5---5---x-x-x-x--5---5---x-x-x--5---5---x-x-x-x---
these rakes may be a little of so you'll have to listen
to the record for the exact timing (it's easy though)
okay you play this part 2 times
the second time this riff gets played VARIATON 1(guitar 1) is played over it
Figure 2

Breath in breath out (2x) .. Breath in.......tied to a wheel
Okay from here it's just the C#5 A5 cord (Figure 1) for the verse
