*Ginn plays a pentatonic riff in G minor here and Dez Cadena keeps playing the rhythm riff from the chorus; I usually improvise Ginn's part when I play -and he likely does too- it but I've tabbed it pretty close to what it is on the CD. The last part with the pull-offs is also and it is done a few times more than what I've written. Pre-chorus (0:28) Played three times:

e|-------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------|
G|-----------2-1-----------------|
D|--2--2-2-2-----2-1-0-----------|
A|---------------------4--4-4----|
E|-------------------------------|

(0:36) The fourth time is a variation of the other three (played three times):

e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------2-1--------2-1-------2-1-----------------|
D|--2--2-2-2-----2-1--------1-0-------0-4--4-4-4------|
A|----------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------|

The last four notes from the above section are not played on the third time and the song goes directly into the chorus again. Then comes another verse with a differing lead riff: Verse (0:15) Played once:

     G       F    C
e|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------4--3-----------4--3----|
D|----------------555-----------4--3-----------4--3----|
A|---5333333-3333-333-----4--5-----------4--5----------|
E|---3333333-1111------3--------------3----------------|

    Ab       C     D   **
e|-----------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------5b(1)---5p3h5p3h5p3------------|
D|--33333333-55555-7-----------------------------------|
A|--11111111-33333-5-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|

Ginn starts with some of those bizarre sounds -his trademark- before going into the full I've tabbed there. That's essentially the whole song other than the solo.
