Then go back to riff 4 and play all of that 2 times.
After that play the chorus 6 times, then...

Closing chord 1

|---|
|-9-|
|-x-|
|-7-|

then play this

|---| The drums slowly fade in and so does the pick-
|---| scratching (low to high). As the pick scratch
|-x-| gets louder, guitar 2 joins in and they both
|-2-| scratch about to the bridge.
|-2-|
|-0-|

Then play riff 1 another 3 times getting progressively slower. Play 9 on E and A about 18 times and on the last
7
one, pick it and slide all the way down the neck. BUT DON'T PICK SLIDE!
The bass plays the solo and then you play this closing riff.

If you have any questions or would like to know the bass solo 'cause is sounds pretty cool on the guitar, then just e-mail me at Rmcsk8er@aol.com Thanx.
