   *   INTRO 1 I know, this isn't exact, much of those cool bends and slides
               are missing... I'll add some of them then when i have time.

      Guitar 1  (2ND INTRO)

        A B A G   F#G E
      E|5h7p5-----------|  repeat 3 times, then play something weird (high
      B|------8---7h8-5-|  and fast), then this 3 times again and then:
      G|----------------|
      D|----------------|
      A|----------------|
      E|----------------|
        .   .   .   .

      * RIFF 1

      2. guitar (RIFF 1)

      Play this 2 times: pretty fast here, you can slide between E and F

        E   F   E   F    E   C       C    E   F  E    F    E    D  D

      * RIFF 2

      2.guitar The strumming is faster than here, but here is some idea.
          
                  
        E   E   E pmC     C  D   D   D    D    D  D E D E  D  C    C   E F

      E|------------8---|-8--------------|----------------|----------------|
        .   .   .   .    .   .   .   .    .   .   .   .    .   .   .   .
        E F E   D    D
      E|----------------|
      B|----------------|
      G|9/109---7----7--|       play the whole riff two times
      D|9/109---7----7--|
      A|7/8-7---5----5--|
      E|----------------|
        .   .   .   .    


      Then some solos, which i haven't tabbed (at least not yet)

      Then the intro riff again
