Intro/main riff:
D-----------3-2---------------------0--------------------- A-----0-0-0-----0-3-3-0-2-3-2-0---------3-2--------------- E-/(5)----------------------------3----3-----3-1-1-0-1-3-3-
This is an easy version as playing constant fifths is tricky - they can be
added in places, or you can just put heavy overdrive on to add effect...
There is a second guitar part, it plays not 2 octaves higher but plays high,
quiet notes that come down from high up in harmony with the main riff - not
really important but I can do it if anyone is desperate...
Chorus is G5, D5, F5, C5, B5, G5
Middle section/interlude:
Starts with an A5 chord with one guitar playing
D-----9- A-------
E-7-8---
Then it's Aminor, Gminor (both barre chords) and A major which is
E--0------- B--2-2-3-2- G--2------- D--2------- A--0-------
Then C5, Bb5 and Amajor played as above.
Main riff, then...
