Tabs

I prefer Drop D MajorD

E MajorE I------------------------------I
BB I------------------------------I
G+G I------------------------------I
D MajorD I---3--3--7--------------------I
A augmentedA I--3--3---5--------------------I
D MajorD I-3--2-------------------------I

That repeats 3 times then...

E MajorE I------------------------------I

D MajorD I-2--------2-------------------I
A augmentedA I-0--0-000-0-0-----------------I
D MajorD I------------------------------I

Keep on doing that but after each round of the tab above, move up a fret on the D MajorD
string. It would be 2 then 3 then 4 then...

E MajorE I------------------------------I
BB I------------------------------I
G+G I------------------------------I
D MajorD I-5-------5b-------------------I
A augmentedA I-0-0-000-5b-------------------I Ending #1
D MajorD I------------------------------I

That whole section (beginning of the main riff on the A augmentedA string) repeats again then
goes onto this riff.

BB I------------------------------I
G+G I------------------------------I
D MajorD I----3---3--7------------------I

 Notice that you kinda hold the low D MajorD
before you strum the A augmentedA string and the high D MajorD string.

BB I------------------------------I
G+G I-7-5-7-5-7--------------------I
D MajorD I-7-5-7-5-7--------------------I
