There is a clean electric guitar playing some chords over top of 
that part (play twice):

E----------|--------|-----0--|--(0)--------|----------------------------

Then it repeats from the verse riff up until the above part once more.
After that it goes into the chorus:

Then comes the solo. This is the rhythm part (just basic powerchords, no
fancy rhythm patterns or anything....play twice):
            
E----------|--------|-----|-----|-----|--------|-----|-----|------------
B----------|--------|-----|-----|-----|--------|-----|-----|------------
G---4:-----|--------|-----|--6--|-----|--------|-----|-----|------------

E-------2--|--3--0--|--2--|-----|--2--|--3--0--|--2--|--2--|------------

Now comes a Bass interlude. This is the guitar part (play this 8 times..
pretty easy, eh?):

E-----------------------------------|---------------------------
B-----------------------------------|---------------------------
G---4:------------------------------|---------------------------
D---4:--2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-|---------------------------
A-------2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-|---------------------------
E-------0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-|---------------------------

Now go way back to the intro riff and repeat from there all the way
until the end of the chorus (don't forget to do the repeat the I 
previously mentioned above!!). Then the rhythm guitar plays the rhythm
part for the solo once (don't hold the last F#5 powerchord). Then there
is another solo at then end. The rhythm guitar just tremolo picks an F#5
powerchord for a bit, then switches to an E5. Then it goes back into
"Seven deadly sins......" Here are the chords to that part:

E-------0--|--2--|--0--|-----|--0--|--0--|--2--|--0--|-----|--2--|------
B-------0--|--3--|--1--|--0--|--0--|--0--|--3--|--1--|--0--|--3--|------

A-------2--|-----|--0--|--3--|--2--|--2--|-----|--0--|--3--|-----|------
E-------0--|-----|-----|-----|--0--|--0--|-----|-----|-----|-----|------
