Then, at the spot highlighted by stars, Guit. 2 comes in with this:

Note that this riff is mirrored by Guitar 1 after the first bar. (It
has to finish the
inro riff) As soon as this riff is finished, Guitar 1 plays the intro
riff again. So, the whole pattern is as follows...
Intro riff (Guitar 1)
Verse riff (Guitar 1 and 2)
Intro riff (Guitar 1)
Verse riff (Guitar 1 and 2)
Intro riff (Guitar 1...directly to prechorus)
As if that weren't tricky enough, here comes the pre-chorus
Guitar 1--Prechorus
C-------------|---------------------| |----------|----------|

And my last ditch... (2X) (Once, then
Intro Riff)
Guitar 2--Prechorus

D-------------------|--------------------|(Three times)
G--11/12-/14-12-11--|-/17--16/17--14-12--|

Remember: Timing is difficult to emulate via e-mail, so note that each
bar is 4 counts.
Chorus (Both Guitars, played twice)

She lived like a murder how she'd fly..so sweet----ly
After you play that twice, strum the four highest strings lightly and
let ring. Then begin the second verse with the Verse Riff, skipping the
first Intro Riff.
When you play that last chord after the 2nd chorus, twist volume knob
up...
"Escalation" Riff (Cheesey, I know) played by both guitars

Play this 3 and 1/2 times, but don't ask me what to do at the last 1/2.
I have no clue.
Then comes the solo, capped off with two more turns at the chorus riff
played by one guitar, while the other guitar adlibs with feedback.
I recommend the following effects: delay, set on very quiet doubling;
reverb; and wah-wah for the solo.
