Todd plays the "Verse Riff" once before the Lisa comes in,

and twice before Clark comes in… Clark: Verse Riff e--------------------------------------------------------------- B--------------------------------------------------------------- G--------------------------------------------------------------- D--4-4----------------x-4-4-----------------x-7-x-4------------ A--4-4----------------x-4-4-----------------x-7-x-4------------ E--2-2-(2.4)(2.4)(2.4)-x-2-2-(2.4)(2.4)(2.4)-x-5-x-2-(2.4)(2.4) e-------------------------------------------------------------- B-------------------------------------------------------------- G-------------------------------------------------------------- D-------x-4-4-----------------x-7-x-4-4-----------------x-4-4-- A-------x-4-4-----------------x-7-x-4-4-----------------x-4-4-- E-(2.4)-x-2-2-(2.4)(2.4)(2.4)-x-5-x-2-2-(2.4)(2.4)(2.4)-x-2-2-- e-------------------------- B-------------------------- G-------------------------- D------------------x-7-x--- A------------------x-7-x--- E--(2.4)(2.4)(2.4)-x-5-x---

For the natural harmonics transcribed above, lightly touch

the E string about 2/5 of the way from the 2nd to the 3rd fret. Both Guitarists: Lead-in Riff e----------------------------------- B----------------------------------- G----------------------------------- D----------------------------------- A------4p0--3p0--2p0---------------- E---------------------2p0-----------

Clark might play the "Lead-in riff" with slight pinch

harmonics… I’ll be able to tell once the album is released… Both Guitarists: Chorus Riff e---------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------- G----------2---4s5--------------4---5s6-------- D------4---2---4s5---2------4---4---5s6---2---- A------4---0---2s3---2------4---2---3s4---2---- E------2-------------0------2-------------0----

Play the "Chorus Riff" 8 times, and then head back into the

verse… Clark comes in after one playing of "Todd: Verse

Riff..."

After the second verse, play the chorus the exact same way as

before...I’m very hazy on what occurs after the second

chorus… I know it used to be a jazzy-sounding guitar duel…

But now I think it has been changed… Since I don’t know

which section is finalized, I’ll leave it blank for now… Both Guitarists: Quiet Riff e---------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------- G---------------------------------------------- D------------------------7p0------------------- A-------------7p0--9p0---------9p0--7p0--9p0--- E--7p0--9p0------------------------------------

The above section is NOT picked… The left hand does all the

work… Initially, Todd is the only one playing the “Quiet

Riff…” After 4 repetitions, Clark doubles the part… After

BOTH guitarist play the “Quiet Riff” together for the first

time, an alteration is thrown in… It’s thrown in again

immediately preceding the guitar solo… Both Guitarists: Quiet Riff Alteration e------------------------------------------------ B------------------------------------------------ G------------------------------------------------ D--------------------------7p0---9Brp7----------- A--------------7p0---9p0------------------9p0---- E---7p0---9p0------------------------------------ Clark: Guitar Solo e--s14tttttt--s17tttttt--s14ttt--------------------------------- B--s14tttttt--s17tttttt--s14ttt------------------5----5----5--7- G--------------------------------------------------6----6------- D---------------------------------2----2----2--4---------------- A-----------------------------------4----4---------------------- E--------------------------------------------------------------- e--------------------------------------------------------------- B--------------------------------------------------14ttt-16ttt-- G---------------------11ttt-14ttt--16ttt--14~~~----------------- D--------------------------------------------------------------- A--0---0-----2br-xsx---9ttt-12ttt--14ttt--12~~~----------------- E----2---2-------xsx-------------------------------------------- e--------------------------------------------------------------- B--17ttt--------16-17-------16-17-------16-17-17-17s19-19-19p17- G----------2-2---------2-2---------2Br-------------------------- D--------------------------------------------------------------- A------------------------------------------------------------- E--------------------------------------------------------------- e---------------------- B------17--20B-20B----- G--18------------------ D---------------------- A---------------------- E----------------------

After the solo, go right back into the “Chorus Riff…” Play

it four times… The outro consists of Clark playing

the “Quiet Riff,” the “Quiet Riff Alteration,” and the “Quiet

Riff” once again… Instead of letting the left hand do all

the work, play these sections while producing pinch harmonics

with your right hand… After the final “Quiet Riff,” play

the “Outro…” Clark: Outro |----------------------------- |----------------------------- |----------------------------- |----------------------4-4---- |----------------------4-4---- |------9p0--8p0--7p0---2-2----

That’s everything… Be sure to listen where Clark uses pinch

harmonics… I’m not sure if I caught all of them… 1
