Riff 1

G:---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D:---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A:----5-------3---------5-5------5-------3---------5-------------------------|
D:------0-3-5---5-3-5-3------0-3---0-3-5---5-3-5-3---------------------------|

(the ending of riff 1 is actually varied some--so ad lib at will!)
Riff 1 Variant: (this is played instead of Riff 1 a few times--you can hear
 when to use it--just listen to the CD!)

G:---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D:-------------------------------------------------5-4-3---------------------|
A:----5-------3---------5-5-----5-------3-----------------5-4-3--------------|
D:------0-3-5---5-3-5-3-----0-3---0-3-5---5-3-5-3----------------------------|
 

Then the next part goes like this.
Riff 2 for a short while...
G:-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D:-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
A:-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
D:--0--0--R--0-0-0--R--0--0--R--0-0-0--R--0--0--R--0-0-0--R--0--0--------|
 

Then it goes back to Riff 1, and Riff 2. This is followed by a short
interlude where only the drums and bass are playing
After spoken: "Anger is a gift..."

Riff 3 x10
G---------------------------------|
D---------------------------------|
A-----3-3-3-3-0-5--5-5-0-3-5------|

Then a fill, an octave higher...
G----------------------------------------------------------------|
D--10-10-10-10-X-12--12-12-X-10-12----10-10-10-10-X-12------(12)-|
A----------------------------------------------------------------|
D----------------------------------------------------------------|

Riff 1 (+ Variant) Plays now during the solo.
 x4

G:-----------------------------------------------------|
D:*-------------5-3-5-3-5-----------------------------*|
A:*--5-3-5-3-5------------3-2-3-2-3-------------------*|
D:------------------------------------5-3-5-3-5-3-5-3--|

Do Riff 2 again.
Riff 3 (x7)
(basically just pick really fast next)
G--------------------------------------|
D--------------------------------------|
A--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---|
D--------------------------------------|

Then Riff 3 (x8) [let the last E in the riff ring going into the Last Riff]
Last Riff:
The guitar plays this part softly 4 times, then the bass joins in.
The guitar gets distorted after a few times then. Be careful, this riff
is played the same over and over for bass, but the song has a change in
accent, thanks to the drums.
 x lots of times

G:----------------------------------------|
D:*--------------------------------------*|
A:*----------------0--3--4--5------------*|
D:----0--3--5--6--------------------------|
