Riff Alpha: The left-speaker riff played really loudly over the cello bit at the start of the song. Personally, I liked it better without this one... No timing as usual. |---------------|-----------|-------|---------------| |---------------|-----------|-------|---------------| |---------------|-----------|---5---|---------------| |-5-8-7-5-8-7-5-|-5-8-7-5-7-|-8---8-|-7-8-7-5-8-7-5-| |---------------|-----------|-------|---------------| |---------------|-----------|-------|---------------| Riff 1a: The intro riff.

If you're lucky enough to have a keyboardist handy, no problem. Otherwise try playing Dm, F, C, Gm twice on a clean guitar, then kick the distortion and play the power chords. |-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| |-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| |-------------|-------------|-------------|-------------| |-7-----------|-3-----------|-5-----------|-5-----------| |-5-----------|-3-----------|-3-----------|-5-----------| |-5-----------|-1-----------|-3-----------|-3-----------| hold hold hold hold Riff 6a: Guitar two is playing sixteenth notes.
