Verse Riff
E|E|----------|| 

To play the verse's touch harmonics you fret the C string at either the
 12th
or the 10th fret with your index, then lightly touch the string over 
the fretbar
3, 4 or 5 frets higher as noted with your pinky. You will have to pick 
the touch
notes fairly hard.

To pull off the muted picking between harmonics just hold the harmonic 
and palm
mute, it will completely silence the note.

For the two measures with harmonics, the numbers ABOVE the C indicate 
Página 1 / 6
what note
you should be fretting. The numbers on the C itself show at which fret 
to touch
the string for the harmonic. Pick normally during the 2nd and 4th 
measures.

measure
 without muting and with increasingly harder picks.


Bridge Riff

Time changes to 6/8. The bass plays a solo riff twice that is very 
similar
to this one but half the length. After four measures, the guitar joins 
in.

Outro Riff
E|E|----------|| 

This riff is played at the very end as a variation on the interlude. 
Use
lighter palm muting and you shouldnt have to unmute to hear the 
harmonics.

The touch harmonics are done exactly as in the verse, but this time
every one of them is positioned 2.2 frets above the fretted note. The 
tab
Página 4 / 6
has an H at every location of these. So if you see 6H, fret at 6, touch
 at
about 8.2 and pick hard to hear the harmonic.

Very light distortion, like the interlude.
