e|--------------------------------------------------------------|
b|--------------------------------------------------------------|
g|--------------------------------------------------------------|
d|-----------------------------------------------------------2-5|
a|------------------------0-2-5-----------------------0-2-5-----|
E|--0----0----0----0-2-3--------0----0----0----0-2-3------------|
e|----------------------------|
b|----------------------------|
g|----------------------------|
d|------------------------0-2-|
a|----------------------------|
E|--0----0----0----0-2-3------|
Then it changes to
e|-------------------------------------------|
b|-------------------------------------------|
g|-------------------------------------------|
d|-----2-0-2------------2-5-2----------------| This section is indentical to the first, just
a|-------------2-5-2------------------0-2-5--| with the added notes in between each open
E|--0--------0--------0---------0-2-3--------| E, so just follow the same pattern.
Then the song ends with the same riff just played super fast
e|--------------------------------------------|
b|--------------------------------------------|
g|--------------------------------------------| Play along with the song to get the amount
d|----------------------------2-5--------0-2--| of times it's repeated and then end with
a|--------0-2-5--------0-2-5------------------| the staccato open E stabs.
E|--0-2-3--------0-2-3-------------0-2-3------|
This is really good fun to play, but quite tiring when repeated over and over,
making the last freak out section of the song especially tricky, practice makes
perfect and playing along to the song will give you an idea on speed and duration of notes.
