Notes:

Some sections of the song are not transcribed, but are obvious
repetitions of earlier sections. I have tried to note these
sections when possible.

Guitar I - medium-light distortion
Guitar II - heavy distortion


Intro:

This is a sampling of the intro. All the parts are here, but some
sections are longer than tabbed. Use your ears to figure them out.
