Angus plays this once, then Stevie joins him the second time. On the third time, the overdub kicks in which
plays twice, taking us to the verse.

Angus and Stevie play this twice, then they change the pattern that they play to the following. (Note that the
overdub stays the same.)
[Verse]

This part plays twice, then we go to the pre-chorus.

[Chorus]
(Angus and Stevie)
(Personally, I don't hear the overdub in the chorus, but feel free to play it if you want.)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------5~-------0---0-1--------------------5~-------4-3-2----------------| E|-0-3-5/7---7-0-5~---3-----3-0--------0-3-5/7---7-0-5~-------0-3-0----------|
They play this twice for the chorus, followed by a section taken from the pre-chorus which they both play.
e|-----------------3~--------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------3~--------------------------------------------------------| G|-4~--2-----4-4~--0~--------------------------------------------------------| D|-4~--2--2--4-4~--0~--------------------------------------------------------| A|-2~--0--2--2-2~--x---------------------------------------------------------| E|--------0--------3~--------------------------------------------------------|
This section is played once, then followed by the main riff.
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| A|---------5~-------0---0-1--------------------5~-------4-3-2----------------| E|-0-3-5/7---7-0-5~---3-----3-0--------0-3-5/7---7-0-5~-------0-3-0----------|
After this, we come to the second verse, which is very similar to the first verse.
[Verse]
(Angus)
e|---------------0-0---------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------0-0---------------------------------------------------------| G|-----2-2-----------2-2-----------------------------------------------------| D|-2~--2-2---2-------2-2---2-------------------------------------------------| A|-2~--0-0---2-------0-0---2-----------5~-------0---0-1----------------------| E|-0~------3-0-----------3-0---0-3-5/7---7-0-5~---3-----3-0------------------|

(Stevie)
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----2-2-----------2-2-----------------------------------------------------| D|-2~--2-2---2-------2-2---2-------------------------------------------------| A|-2~--0-0---2-------0-0---2-----------5~-------0---0-1----------------------| E|-0~------3-0-----------3-0---0-3-5/7---7-0-5~---3-----3-0------------------|
This time, this section is played twice, but the second time around, it is played like this.
[Verse]
(Angus)
e|---------------0-0---------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------0-0---------------------------------------------------------| G|-----2-2-------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-2~--2-2---2---------------------------------------------------------------| A|-2~--0-0---2---------------------------------------------------------------| E|-0~------3-0---------------------------------------------------------------|

They then immediately go into the pre-chorus.

e|-------------------------------------------------------------------3~------| B|-------------------------------------------------------------------3~------| G|-2~----2~------------------2~----2~----------------4~--2-----4-4~--0~------| D|-2~----2~----2~--2-2-2~----2~----2~----2~--2-2-2~--4~--2--2--4-4~--0~------| A|-0~-0~-0~-0~-2~--2-2-2~----0~-0~-0~-0~-2~--2-2-2~--2~--0--2--2-2~--x~------| E|-------------0~--0-0-0~----------------0~--0-0-0~---------0--------3~------|

This part is played three times, and is then followed by an extended version of the pre-chorus.

This section plays throughout the rest of the song (eight times). After the solo, Stevie is joined
by an overdub which is essentially the main riff played louder through the right speaker.
