First Riff through 0:58
G----------------------------------------5-3-----------------------
D---5------54-2-12--------5------54-2-12---------------------------
A---------5--------3-1----------5----------------------------------
E-3---1-3---------------3---1-3------------------------------------

G------------------------------------------------------------------
D---5------54-2-12--------5------54-2-12---------------------------
A---------5--------3-1----------5--------3-1-3-1-------------------
E-3---1-3---------------3---1-3------------------3-1-2------------- 

Play that two full times, then play the 1st half once and then this:

G------------3-5-5-7--5h7------------------------------------------
D--------3-5--------------7-5-4------------------------------------
A-------------------------------5----------------------------------
E-3----3-----------------------------------------------------------

Second Riff
G------------------------------------------------------------------
D------------------------------------3-4-5-------------------------
A-----------1-1-1--------------1-3-5-------------------------------
E-3---1-33--------33--1-1-1-33-------------------------------------

The rest of this part is the base of this riff with alot of
improvising. But i think you can figure it out.

Then, at 1:36, play this really fast:
G-----5-3-----15----------------------------------------------------------
D-3-5------------17----------------17-17-17-17-14-------------------------
A--------------------15-17--------------------------15--14--14------------
E--------------------------13-15--------------------------16--16-13-11-16-

Third Riff
G---------------------------3-------------------------------------
D-----------------------------5-----------------------------------
A-------1-3-1--5-5-5--3-5-----------------------------------------
E-3-1-3-------------------6---------------------------------------

That's the core of that riff, here's an example of how Dirk improvises:
G-----------------------7-8-9-10-----------------------------------
D----------------------7-8-9-10------------------------------------
A-------1-3-1--5-5-5-----------------------------------------------
E-3-1-3------------------------------------------------------------

Then at 2:18, play this:
G-----7---7-----------------------------------------------5---------
D-------6---------------------------------------------6-7-----------
A-----------6-5-4-3-------------------------------6-7---------------
E-3-----------------8-7-6--6/0-8-6-8-0-1-2-3--7-8-------------------

At 2:30, go back to a varitation of the second riff,
and then play this variation of the first riff:
G---------------------------3---------------------------------------
D-----------------------3-5---5-------------------------------------
A-------1-3-1--5-5--3-5---------------------------------------------
E-3-1-3-------------------------------------------------------------

Dirk plays alot of different variations during the last verse of the song,
He actually uses each riff at least once at the end, and he improvises on
all of them. But at 3:11, he goes back to the opening riff of the song.
Play the whole first riff once, and that's the whole song.

I hope this helped you alot. PLEASE RATE THIS TAB!!!!!!!!!!!
