The little interlude with a VERY SPECIAL EFFECT (!) is very difficult to
transcribe. When I play this part, I switch my WAH on and I play an Chord diagramE5E5
power chord. I follow the rythm with my wah pedal.

The last bar of the 3rd verse have a slight variation of the main riff.
(That's when UDO sings : "We are born to die")

|-5--5--4--3--2-----X-X-X-X---| After that, go directly to the chorus
|-3--3--2--1--0-----X-X-X-X---| Don't pass by the prechorus (and don't collect
                200$ !!! 8->)

Here's the riffs for the solo part (beginning at the end of the 2nd chorus)

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

Rythm of the next riff (the solo over this riff follow)

|-0-3-2-0-2----------3-2-0---|-0-3-2-0-3--2----0-0-0-|
|----------------------------|-----------------------|
Play this riff 2 times then play the same thing 2 times again but play
it on the 6th (Chord diagramE MajorE) and 5th (Chord diagramA augmentedA) strings instead of the 5th and 4th.
After that replay 2 times this riff on the 5th and 4th strings (like the 2
first time!)

                 where they are!)
               NH = Natural harmonic
               AH = Artificial hormonic
               Chord diagramBB = Bend.
               X = Muffled strings.

               H  P
               /\, /\ = Hammer on, pull off.
