Notes:
* Finish the verse off by transitioning into the intro riff.
You can ham up the riff with strumming, as long as you accentuate the top notes for the melody.
Playing the E of "Yet in the dark streets…" section as the D shape slid up a couple of frets works quite well.
Arpeggiate/fingerpick for colour/texture.
