Tuning: Standard

Intro:

A augmentedA|-------------------------|
E MajorE|-------------------------|

Strum each chord cleanly, and then chugg it into the next one. Tabbing it out exactly
would take a lot of lines for a tiny segment of the song that you can pick up just by
listening, so consider this a little challenge. :P

Going into the verses, the 3 after the x becomes a 5, and slides into the 3.

Solo:

On its way! The rhythm is the same as for the main riff: E5, G5, D5, E5. Improvise in E minorEm
pentatonic for now.
