|-----------------------------------------------------|

right after that riff hit a bunch of C#'s then a huge D -- 
	    here we go! !    

     This is the MASSIVE RIFF for the chorus            (right before
  P.M.                                                   the verse starts)

|--0-0--6-------0--5-------0--4-5-------|            --6-7-7---76--|

that chord in between the end of the chorus riff and the verse is a hard F#


  the verse riff is just a palm muted progression of notes-
	       it goes from Eto (022100@1)G#to (xx1114@1)Eto (022100@1)A# (x1333x@1)

    this riff's kinda tricky -- it's hard to keep the D# staccato

|------------------------------| this part's very strange
|------------------------------| to look at, just listen 
|-6-6-----6/76--66-----4------| to get the feel right
|-4-4--0--4/54--44--0--2-0--0-| (also, I think that slide
                                   from G#to (xx1114@1)Amay (x02220@1)                                    actually be abend) (x02210@1)
then do a chromatic descent from A# into the blitzkrieg!

ok, solo's next-- you guys are on your own for that baby!!
	   There's alot (x02210@1)of cool bends and aTON (x02210@1)of stretching involved

I suppose the last thing is the chorus and that descending Eb thing--
there's a harmony that's something like this on the last time--
                                
                                        RIGHT!
