Tuning: Drop D (D,A,D,G,B,E)

Note: This song is trickier than what it sounds and looks. I'm pretty sure
that this is basically what he's playing.

Riff 1
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------------------------|
D|-1-1-0-----1-0-3-3-0-----1-0-1-1-0-----1-0-3p0-0-8-8-1-1-1-|
A|-1-1-0--5*-1-0-3-3-0--5*-1-0-1-1-0--5*-1-0-3p0-0-8-8-1-1-1-|
D|-1-1-0-----1-0-3-3-0-----1-0-1-1-0-----1-0-3p0-0-8-8-1-1-1-|

Riff 1a
E|-----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------|

D|-1-1-0-----1-0-3-3-0-----1-0-1-1-0-----1-0-5-5-5-5-6-6-1-1-|

Note: I'm not sure if this is right, there is crazy effects going on here. 
From what I hear, the intro is played a little different than every other
time this riff is played like during the chorus.

Play Riff 5 x8    "Remember me while you step into your glory..."

Note: After the 4th time around, play un-palm muted for the final 4 times.

The final chorus is the same as before except slightly different. 
After the first part there is a pause (you'll hear it in the song, he doesn't
play the little ending fill) and then he continues with that part removed and
that is all!
