version 3:

Descending riff (D.r) is played around the open A chord.
Sometimes an octive higher and sometimes altered a little.

Ends on synthesised A chord. (on which most of the song is based around!)

That's it, there are more than two guitars playing this but i'm pretty 
sure the chord  structure is correct.
