Transcribed by: DMS & RH

Standard tuning (EADGBE)

This is the cool bassriff that is played in the begining of the 
song. (And also throughout the song)

"Arranged" for guitar. I think. I've never played a bass, but it's
pretty cool to play this on a normal guitar...

E||--0------------------3-----|    E||--0----5h7---7-------3-5---|

I sometimes use powercords on the first and the two last notes.  
Just for the fun of it..
