of G+G in the chords below. The extent to which the main riff is played will be specified in brackets
next to the chord (e.g.: G+G [Part A augmentedA]).

A augmentedA variation on Part A augmentedA (Part A augmentedA var.) is played before and during the chorus. It goes as follows:
E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|-------------------------3-------5b6--------r5---3h5p3---------|
G+G|-0-------2-------4-------------------------------------------4-|
D MajorD|---------0---------------0---------------0---------------0-----|

D MajorD|---------0---------------0---------------2-------4-------0-----|
