SECOND PART - 4/4 time
Gt. 1 (Jonny) - Jonny plucks these octaves fast with his first and second fingers, and they are played slightly off-beat
e------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G----------13-----12---10--12-----12----12---10-15-10-15--12-------------------------- D----------x------x----x---x------x-----x----x--x--x--x---x--------------------------- A----------11-----10---8---10-----10----10---8--13-8--13--10-------------------------- D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's the Devil's way now... There is no way out...
Gt. 2 (Ed) - Ed picks the high and low notes of these octaves alternatively, and adds distortion for the shouty bit
e------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G-----------10-----9---6---9-------9-------8--6--10-6-10-9---------------------------- D-----------x------x---x---x-------x-------x--x--x--x-x--x---------------------------- A-----------8------7---4---7-------7-------6--4--8--4-8--7---------------------------- D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's the Devil's way now... There is no way out...
Guitars one and two play these patterns throughout the entire second section, up until the last 'PAYING ATTENION'
After the 'Because...', guitar 3 (Thom) joins in with distortion

THIRD PART - Live, Jonny thrashes around with 'that effect' throughout the mental bit (ie. the one heard during the interlude
in Airbag, where his guitars sounds like the whole thing's falling apart and loads of notes crash together). I've just tabbed
out the added bits you can hear on the album recording here.
