Remarks:
Rather than labelling all the riffs and having some monstrous "progression"
section as my past tabs have, I am simply putting in the parts in the order
they appear and ignoring repeats. It's up to you to put them together
correctly.
The guitar solo was recorded backwards; however it is notated in a forwards
approximation, as it is unlikely that anyone would want to perform the song
in reverse. :)
Tablature explanation:
