Chorus:

Basicly just repeat the intro, but keep the ringing low E chord
at the begining till the speed part comes in.

Interlude:

just mess with these chords, you'll hear the changes

e|-0---0(3)--0(4)--0(3)-|
B|-0---3-----0(4)--3----|
G|-1---2-----*-----2----|
D|-2---0-----6-----0----|
A|-2---0-----6-----0----|
E|-0---2-----4-----2----|

Now the fingerings in brackets are little parts you can hear
Alex mess with, there optionals. (and the 3rd chord isn't right
but it's close)

===================
=Do the Verse riff=
===================

Then intro thing a couple times

Then this bitchy thing:
