      PM--------------/

Now repeat A, B, C, D but where the Palm Muting is,
slow it down. Just listen to the song, it makes sense there.

Ab----5---5---5---5--I--6----------------I
Db--0----------------I-------------------I
(Might not be right, but it's close)


I'm not really sure on the next part because there is too much
noise for me to hear what he's playing.
