For the first 4 measures, it is just bass: e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----1--2-1---1---2-1-----1--2-1-4-1-2---1---2-1---------------| E|---4--------4-----------4--------------4-----------------------| Then, guitar joins bass with the same riff: e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----1--2-1---1---2-1-----1--2-1-4-1-2---1---2-1---------------| E|---4--------4-----------4---------------4----------------------| -- Then, the vocals start at 0:16.

I haven’t figured it out yet, but here are the that match. Repeat the four chords (well, three, but one is used again) as many times as want. e|-------------------------------------------------------------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------| G|------8--------------3---------------6----------------8------| D|------8--------------3---------------6----------------8------| A|------6--------------1---------------4----------------6------| E|-------------------------------------------------------------| At 2:50, the solo ends and we are back to: e|------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----1---2-1-----------1---2-1-----------1------2-1-4-1-2-----1---2-1---| E|---4-----------------4-----------------4------------------4-------------| It is 2:56, and the guitar stops, though the bass continues with the root note of the power chords (the notes on the bottom E line). At 3:06, the guitar chimes in again to play this riff once: e|---------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------| A|-----1--2-1---1---2-1-----1--2-1-4-1-2---1---2-1---------------| E|---4--------4-----------4---------------4----------------------| | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note
