Tuning E A D G B E

This is not completely accurate, but it's close. I've added between brackets
when a riff starts.

Intro riff: guitar 1
   play this 19 times      then this once
e|--------------------|------------------------------|
B|---6-5--------------|---6-5------------------------|
G|-------7-5-7--------|-------7-5-7-5----------------|
D|-------------5------|---------------8-7-5----------|
A|--------------------|---------------------8-7-5----|
E|--------------------|------------------------------|

Fill 1 (7"): guitar 2: play this 4x after guitar 1 has played the intro riff 4x
e|-----------------------|
B|-11-10-----------------|
G|-------12-10-12--------|
D|----------------10-----|
A|-----------------------|
E|-----------------------|

Fill 2 (14"): play this 4 times. Guitar 1 is between brackets

e|----------------8h10p8-7hold----|
B|-(6)-(5)------------------------|

Riff 2 (20"): Guitar 2 now plays chords. Guitar 1 still plays Riff 1

A|---2---3---5---7---9----10------|
E|---0---1---3---5---7-----8------|

Riff 3 (32"): Guitar 2 plays this 2 times. The last time, no stop but ring.
e|--------------------------------------------|

B|------------------------|
G|------------------------|

Riff 4 (45"): twin guitar stuff. Difficult to separate both guitars, so I'll
              just tab out one. Play each part 4 times.

e|--12-14-15-|-9-11-12-|-7-9-10-|-5-7-8-|-3-5-6-|-9-11-12-|----|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------|

When Guitar 1 is finished with Riff 4, it plays these chords (1'05"):

D|---10----9----7----5----4----|
A|---10----9----7----5----4----|
E|---8-----7----5----3----2----|

(end of Riff 4 for guitar 2): play this when the other guitar is doing the riff
above. Play each part 4 times. Listen to the song to know when to play this
