Alright so after the crazy solo part in the beginning it gets into the main riff,
which is this...
Riff 1:
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----5--7---5------------------------5--7-----5------------------------------|
G|--6-------6--- 6p4-----4-6-4-----6--------6-----6p4------4--6--------- -----|
D|---------------------7---------------------------------7--------7--4 --------|
A|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Play that Riff four times, then on the fifth time play this...
Riff 2:
e|----------------------------|
B|--5-----------5-------------|
G|----7--6---4----------------|
D|---------7------------------|
A|----------------------------|
E|----------------------------|
Play that Riff 3 times, and on the fourth time it ends like this...
e|----------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------|
G|--4--5--4-------------------------|
D|------------7--5--4--3------------|
A|----------------------------------|
E|----------- ----------------------|
Then Frank does his talking which is done in the key of D, and the music in the
backround is just like fooling around in D. Then he goes back to riff 1, and then
enters the solo.
The end. Email if you have questions.
