Comments:

I will only use the necessary strings for each riff, so be careful to
make sure you're playing on the right strings.

Guitars are tuned in drop-Db.  Guitarists are Pat O'Brien and Jack Owen.
I'm fairly sure that Riff A is played underneath practically the entire
song, but it's so hard to hear... In any case, that would make this an
excellent song to play with another guitarist.

Tempo: 100 bpm

  Followers in life             Follow to the grave
  Follow the one               Evil masked in pride
