Then play E5 - C5 during the "hanging from the sky" part.
This riff is played at the end of the E5-C5 progression:
E-12-12-12-12--

Then there's this octave solo:
E--------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------
D-2-2-2-0-2---3-3-3--[Repeat, then:]---------------
A-------------------------------------12s11-///-0--

This is played 2x:
E--9-9-9-9--11-11-11-11-

Then:
E-12-12-12-12--14-14-14-14-16-16-16-9-9-9-9-
B-------------------------------------------
G-------------------------------------------
Repeat this, and go to the 17th fret the second time.
The next part of the song is just C#5 - F#5,
then it goes to E5 - F#5 at the end when the 1st verse is
repeated.
