of 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 [Part A]).

E|---------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------3-------5b6--------r5---3h5p3---------|
G|-0-------2-------4-------------------------------------------4-|
