Intro/main riff:

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---
