The song begins with two guitars. The first guitar repeats the 4 bar pattern
below 4 times:

Guitar 1. Distorted tone. Let ring.

                                                            (*)

D|----5-----------|----3-----------|----1-----------|----------------|
A|--5-------------|--3-------------|--1-------------|----------------|
E|3---------------|3---------------|3---------------|----------------|


(*) Guitar 2 enters at this point:

   1st. time                      2nd. time
   (Natural harmonics)
   triplet feel

Repeat the progression below 4 times varying the last bar as indicated:


  (Don't let notes ring)                                  1st. time

   (grad. increase)

There are many alternate ways to play the next part. I usually try
to keep the ascending notes on the same string to make slides easier.

In the next part the guitar is doubled but the recording
wasn't clear enough to me, so I tabbed only the main guitar:

Now repeat this 3 times (you've seen this before):


E|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|----------------|

E|3--------3-3-3-3-|3--------3-3-3-3-|3--------3-3-3-3-|3-3-3-3-3-1-----|



Finally the ending section. I'm not sure about the faster notes but I think
the structure is correct:


E|-----------|--------------------------------|-------------------------|
B|-----------|3-------3-----3-----3-----3-----|3-----3------------------|
G|-----------|5b(7)---5b(7)-5b(7)-5b(7)-5b(7)-|5b(7)-5b(7)r5-3----------|

             slow bend

             1/4 tone

                       grad. release

                       bend to 1/4
