Sorry it's not entirely complete, but it should be plenty to work from if you listen to
the disc a thousand times.

Note that the main chords (D, G, C, Em) can all be played in their barre form for more
control over the distortion. Also note that in Riff 2, G is substituted for Dsus2 if
played in barre chord form.

D Dsus2 C Em
e--x-----x------x-----x
B--7-----8------5----5
G--7-----7------5----4
D--7-----7------5----x
A--x-----x------x----x
E--x-----x------x----x

Remember this stuff is not set in stone in any way, shape or form. Experiment. It's
fun. Just not with chemicals...
