This is a rough sketch of how I attempt this track - I make no claims of it
being note-perfect (or anywhere close), but it does seem to provide a
passable playthrough of this piece...


INTRO


E-----------------------|-----------------------|----------|---3--2---||
B-----------------------|-----------------------|---5--5---|---5--3---||
G-----5-----5-----5-----|---4------4-----4------|---5--5---|---------*||
D-----5--5-----5-----5--|---5---5-----5-----5---|----------|---------*||
A-----------------------|-----------------------|----------|----------||
E-----------------------|-----------------------|----------|----------||

(or possibly a variant on the following:)

E-----------------------|-----------------------|----------|---3--2---||
B-----5h6p5-------5-----|---3h5p3--------3------|---5--5---|---5--3---||
G-------------5---------|-----------4-----------|---5--5---|---------*||
D-----------------------|-----------------------|----------|---------*||
A-----------------------|-----------------------|----------|----------||
E-----------------------|-----------------------|----------|----------||


The bass riff doubled by guitar:

E----------------------------------|----------------------------------||
B----------------------------------|----------------------------------||
G---------5--5---4h5--4h5p4--------|---------5--5---4h5p4-------------||
D----2h5---------------------5/7---|----2h5----------------5/7--7-----||
A----------------------------------|----------------------------------||
E----------------------------------|----------------------------------||


For the verses use the 2nd of the intro riffs, something like this:

E-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------||
B---5h6p5-----5---|---3h5p3-----3---|--5h6p5------5---|---3h5p3---------||
G----------5------|----------4------|----------5------|----------4-----*||
D-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|----------------*||
A-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------||
E-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------||


Chorus

D---9--9--9---9---7---7---5---3---3---5---|-------------------------3--------------||
A---7--7--7---7---5---5---------------3---|---5--5--5---5---3---3---1---3---3---5--||
E-----------------------------------------|---3--3--3---3---1---1-------1---1---3--||


"Somewhere later on..."

E-----------------|---------------------|-----------------------|----------------||

G---5--4----------|----4------------4---|--2--4--5--4--2--------|---------4--2--*||
D--------7--5--4--|---------------------|----------------5--2---|---2--2--------*||

That's all the riffs that are needed to play through.  The solo is over this vamp:
