E------------------|  Let this last chord ring for a
B------------------|  looooong amount of time with heavy
G----------7~------|  distortion. Ideally it should be
D--0~------9~------|  played with a low C, but I can't be
A--0~------9~------|  bothered. Tune to C G C F A D and 
D--0~------9~------|  transpose up 2 frets if you're picky.
