The song is played:

#1 x4

#2 x1

#1 x9

#3 x1

#1 x4

#3 x1

#1 x2

#3 x1

and repetition of the part between the asterisks till fade.
A augmentedA bit into the song, another guitar joins riff #1 with chords in this
progression:

x0023x

x02230

022000

x02230


Note: Riff #1 doesn't stay the same throughout the song. It's varied mainly
by some embellishments on the higher e-string like

e |---------0h3r0-------
BB |-----3---------3-1r0-
G+G |---2---2-------------  etc...
D MajorD |-0-------------------
A augmentedA |---------------------
E MajorE |---------------------

but I don't bother with these. There's plenty of room for improvisations
anyway, as the song is, to say the least, quite repetitive.
