"Magical" Riff Variant (3:06) - at end, play chromatic descending

tritones G|-22---21---20---|

D|---21---20---19-| etc...

Guitar Solo (3:20) - Like Verse 2, but ghost notes are not ghosted.

Use distortion and improv if you want.

G|-----------------------------------------| Improv around these

D|-----------------------------------------| two patterns.

E|-------7-0--0----------7-0---------------|

G|-----------------------------------------| Stay within the

D|-----------------------------------------| E minor(?) scale.

Lead-In (4:15) - Slap and mute on the E string like Intro.

"Magical" Riff (4:36) - Play first two "bars" of the Variant(see above)

Verse 1 Riff (4:46)

Outro (4:59)

Play Bridge 2 with distortion. Improv after the singing stops.

The bass cuts out around 6:15 near when the speaker says "certain

situations" and returns around 6:30. Continue improving.

That's it! Sorry for the length, but you should have few problems.

Feel free to modify the song to your liking, but leave the tab alone.
