Then repeat the above with the other guitar playing a harmony
(up a major third, with the exception of the C# and G# notes, which
are harmonised in minor thirds... is this clear?)

|-----------------|  Then again with a harmony, in perfect
|-----------------|  fifths this time.  The final measure
|-----------------|  is different:  just three G5 chords
|-----------------|  to lead into the verse.
|---4-5---4-5---5-|

Later on, the second riff after the intro (the palm-muted progression with
B A# G as its roots) is heard with the second guitar playing power-chords:
A#5    G5    the first time
A#5 C5 G5 A5 the second time, into the following:

"Raaargh!  From your knees arise..." (corrected 2/12/01)
