Here's the part behind the verse (GUITAR 2). I have no idea what
effect he has on there, but I think there's a little distortion
and maybe a little wah. Anywhere you see RIFF, GUITAR 1 and 3 play
the riff shown here.

Now, we get to the chorus. GUITAR 1 and 3
are going here, with GUITAR 1 playing the

Right after this, they go into another verse
and chorus, then they go to the bridge.

During the second verse, the last part doesn't happen,
it goes right into the bridge.
Here's the bridge. A lot of what you hear
is bass, and I haven't notated that.
GUITAR 1 and 3 play the bottome line
(with divisi where indicated).
GUITAR 2 plays the top.
