Here, I won't vouch for the timing on the second (7), and I can't

be bothered working it out fully. btw, the ()'s me harmonic.

Bass:

Just does a D note.

Back to the intro, with bass, and guitar on harmonics.

For the solo, the bit during the Am - G is:

e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

b -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

g -|--------7^^---7--5--------|--7-----5-----------------|-

d -|--------------------------|-----------7-----5--7-----|-

a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |

repeat 2 times.

e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

b -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

g -|--------7^^------7--------|--5--------4--------------|-

d -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |

Then with the F - Em bit, just go a little crazy, with lots

of heavy overdrive, and lots of use of the whammy bar.

The bass solo is this;

g -|--------7--------9--------|--10-------9--------10----|-

d -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |

g -|--------12-------10-------|--9--------10-------12----|-

d -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |

g -|--------14-------9--------|--10----9-----7-----5-----|-(7)-

d -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-----

a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-----

e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-----

| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^

repeat.

Then the harmonics return, but like this:

e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

b -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

g -|--------------------------|-(7)---------------(7)----|-

d -|-------(12)-----(7)-------|----------(7)-------------|-

a -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

e -|--------------------------|--------------------------|-

| ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ |

repeat, then end, with the bass doing a volume swell on a D.
