E-------------------------------|-----------------------------
There is a clean electric guitar playing some chords over top of
that part (play twice):
E----------|--------|-----0--|--(0)--------|----------------------------
B-------3--|-----1--|--------|-------0--3--|----------------------------
G---4:--4--|--4--2--|--0-----|-------------|----------------------------
D---4:--5--|--5--2--|--2-----|-------------|----------------------------
A-------3--|--3-----|--2-----|-------------|----------------------------
E----------|--------|--0-----|-------------|----------------------------
This is the next part:
E-----------------------------------|------------------------------
B-----------------------------------|------------------------------
G---4:------------------------------|------------------------------
D---4:--------------------------4-4-|-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5--

A---7--7-7-7--7-7-7--7-7-7--7-7--|-------------------------------
E--------------------------------|-------------------------------
Then it repeats from the verse riff up until the above part once more.
After that it goes into the chorus:
E-------||--------------------------------|----------------------------
B-------||--------------------------------|----------------------------
G---4:--||*-------------------------------|----------------------------
D---4:--||*--7--7-7-7--7-7-7--7-7-7--7-7--|-7--7-7-7--7-7-7--7-7-7-----
A-------||---5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5--|-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--1--
E-------||--------------------------------|----------------------------
E-------------------|------------------||--
B----------1--------|-----------3------||--
G-------------3-----|--------------5--*||--
D-------3-----------|--------5--------*||--
A--(1)-----------3--|---(3)------------||--
E-------------------|------------------||--
E||-------------------------------|----------------------------
B||-------------------------------|----------------------------
G||*--5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-|-5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5-5-----
D||*--3--3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3-|-3--3-3-3--3-3-3--3-3-3-----
A||-------------------------------|-------------------------4--
E||-------------------------------|----------------------------
E-------------------------|------------------------||
B-------------------------|------------------------||
G-------------------------|-----------------------*||
D-------3-----6--5--3-----|--------5-----6--5-----*||
A--(4)-----4-----------6--|---(6)-----6--------6---||
E-------------------------|------------------------||
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--|-----|--------|-----|-----|------------
D---4:--4--|--5--2--|--4--|--6--|--4--|--5--2--|--4--|--4--|------------
A-------4--|--5--2--|--4--|--4--|--4--|--5--2--|--4--|--4--|------------
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--|------
G---4:--0--|--2--|--2--|--0--|--0--|--0--|--2--|--2--|--0--|--2--|------
D---4:--2--|--0--|--2--|--2--|--2--|--2--|--0--|--2--|--2--|--0--|------
A-------2--|-----|--0--|--3--|--2--|--2--|-----|--0--|--3--|-----|------
E-------0--|-----|-----|-----|--0--|--0--|-----|-----|-----|-----|------
