"And quote unquote you"

Then there's a bit of a riff, where I like to do something like this

RIFF 2:

e|------------------------------------------------------|
BB|-----------------------10-------12--------------------|
G+G|9------11-------12-----------------------11-------12--|
D MajorD|------------------------------------------------------|

G+G|9-------11------12------------------------11-------9--|

And back to the verse

BB|----------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|--------------------------------------------------4----4--|
D MajorD|2----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------4----4--|
A augmentedA|2----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------2----2--|
E MajorE|0----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0----------------|

"Hey Remember Michael Jackson?"

e|----------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|----------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|-------------------------------------------------------5-----5--|
D MajorD|----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4--------5-----5--|
A augmentedA|----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4--------3-----3--|

"Michael Jackson really happened"

e|----------------------------------------------------------|
BB|----------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|--------------------------------------------------4----4--|

D MajorD|----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4--------5-----5-----------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4--------3-----3-----------------------------------------|
E MajorE|----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------------------------------------------------------|

"Walking on the moon forever"

Then the Pre-Chorus

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|5-----5--------------------------------4------5-----5--------------------------|
D MajorD|5-----5-----5-----5--------2-----2-----4------5-----5------5-----5----------7--|
A augmentedA|3-----3-----5-----5--------2-----2-----2------3-----3------5-----5----------7--|
E MajorE|------------3-----3--------0-----0-------------------------3-----3----------5--|

"Oh-oh-oh-oh oh oh oh-oh oh oh           oooooooo ooooo ooo

And now the chorus

e|----------------------------------------------------------|
BB|----------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|--------------------------------------------------4----4--|
D MajorD|2----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------4----4--|
A augmentedA|2----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------2----2--|
E MajorE|0----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0----------------|

"You are dead and buried you are-"

e|----------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|----------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|-------------------------------------------------------5-----5--|
D MajorD|----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4--------5-----5--|
A augmentedA|----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4--------3-----3--|
E MajorE|----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----------------|

"Dead (That's being revised!)"

e|----------------------------------------------------------|
BB|----------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|--------------------------------------------------4----4--|
D MajorD|2----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------4----4--|
A augmentedA|2----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2--------2----2--|
E MajorE|0----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0----------------|

" Even as we speak we're synthesizing"

e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|-------------------------------------------------------5-----5----------------------------------------|
D MajorD|----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4--------5-----5----------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4-----4--------3-----3----------------------------------------|
E MajorE|----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-------------------------------------------------------|

"Blood and organs synthesizing heart and soul"

And you play that a second time for the second part of the chorus. Right at the end, you start this riff
which is probably the hardest since it's decently fast but it's not so bad.

RIFF 3:

e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|--------------------------10-------12-------13--------10---------------12-----------------------------|
G+G|--9------11------12-------------------------------------------12--------------12--------9------11-----|
D MajorD|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|--------------------------12-------14-------15--------12--------------14-----------------------------|
G+G|-11------13-------14-------------------------------------------14------------14---------11-------13--|
D MajorD|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Near the end if you play the riff a bit slower it bridges into the next verse nicely.
You can also alternate between playing what's above and also this for any of the two bits:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|--------------------------12-------14-------15--------12--------------14---------------14----------|
G+G|-11------13-------14-------------------------------------------14------------14----------------14--|
D MajorD|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Then I just play barre chords for the rest of the verse, chorus and bridge. You can put in that second riff
when he breaks from singing and just vocalizes. Then, once you get to the bridge, you can use
 little bits like this along with barre chords.

e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|----------------10------12--------------------10-----------------13~~-------12~~--|
G+G|---9-----12---------------------9-----12------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|------------------------------------------------------12--------------------------|
A augmentedA|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

    "New hands  new  throat,                 New,    Living tissue.."

And,

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|----------------10------12--------------------10-------------------------------------------------|
G+G|---9-----12---------------------9-----12------------------------11~~~~slide~~~14~~~~slide~~~~12--|
D MajorD|------------------------------------------------------12-----------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

    "Life-time  a-cheive   -ment          a-   waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard


and that brings you right up to the solo,

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|--8-----------------8-------------8-----10-----------12------10-----10-----10-------15~~~--|
G+G|---------9---9-----------9---9-----------------9-------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|-10-----12-----10-----12------12-------8-------------8------10------12---------------8-------10-------|
G+G|-----------------------------------------------9------------------------------9--------------------7--|
D MajorD|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
BB|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|7-----9-----7------9------7--------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|----------------------------------9------7------7------9------7-----9-----7-----5--|
A augmentedA|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------10------------10------12------10--|
BB|---------------8--------8----10----8----10-----12----10-----12------------12-------------------------|
G+G|9----7----9---------9--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|-12------14-------12-------14------15-----12------15-------17--------19------12-------15------17~~-|
BB|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|----10------10------17~~~~|
BB|--------------------------|
G+G|--------------------------|
D MajorD|--------------------------|
A augmentedA|--------------------------|
E MajorE|--------------------------|

Then it goes back to the third riff for a few lines and then the final verse and chorus. After those, it ends
with riff 3 again and then this last bit,

e|-------------------------------10-------10------8------7------5-------7------12-----10-----8-----7----8--|
BB|13------12-------10------8-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G+G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

e|-------7~~~~~~~~\\\\\\(slide up and let ring out)--|
BB|---------------------------------------------------|
G+G|---------------------------------------------------|
D MajorD|---------------------------------------------------|
A augmentedA|---------------------------------------------------|
E MajorE|---------------------------------------------------|

And that's about it, probably some mistakes in there but you have the general layout of the major synth
bits. (at least the ones that are the most fun to play and not interfering too much with the chorus and
verses)
