"  - tremolo note                * - read comment
.  - palm mute                    - slide down
r  - natural harmonics           / - slide up

Tuning: C(everystring 2 steps down)

Note: I wasn't anal with this song, so I didn't include some detail such as
      a riff ending with a slight slide(such as in Riff B).  But all the notes
      are right.

*On the B5 chord sometimes the F# is added in on either guitar 1 or 2, listen
for it.

* Again, I didn't pay attention to see if the F# was in one of the guitars.
Also, when I transcribed this song my guitar was in B which makes it tonally
impossible to get the correct harmonics, but my guess is that it was F#'s.
Anyways, if those harmonics are wrong it should be pretty easy to figure
out yourself what they are if your guitar is in C.  Personally I don't have
the patience to put my guitar in C, so I always leave it as B :)
