(Played twice, then the vocals enter)

A couple of lines in, Gtr 2 swaps to the riff below, while Gtr 1 plays whats
above.

e:----------------------------------------------------------------
(This riff fits into one 'round' of the drum sequence)

These bits are repeated until the bridge in the middle, when its
just singing, bass and keyboards.

After that, both guitars play this:

  D       C       E               D       C       E
E:----------------------------------------------------------------
B:----------------------------------------------------------------

D:7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-
A:5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-
e:----------------------------------------------------------------

Gtr 2 then swaps to this solo later:
E:5-7-5-----------|------5---------|------5---------|--------5^------|
B:--------8---8-6-|8---6-----6---6-|8---6-----8---6-|8---8-6-----6---|
G:----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D:----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
A:----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
e:----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|

Guitar 1 ends on D, guitar 2 ends on F or A.

This is all my own work.
