If I remember correctly, I transcribed riff 1 one octave lower than played. I like it better like that.

riff2
speed pick
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------
G|--5---6-5---8---10-7---5---6-3---5------5---6-5/6\5/6\5/6/88--10--11-
D|--3---4-3---6---8--5---3---4-1---3-6----3---4-3/4\3/4\3/4/66--8---9--
A|-----------------------------------4---------------------------------
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------


E|------------------------|-------------------------------------------

G|--5--3-6---3-------3-4--|-------------------------------------------
D|--3--1-4---1--6----1-2--|-------------------------------------------

back to riff 1 (w/o the fade in of course)

riff3
E|---------------------------------------------|-----------------------
B|---------------------------------------------|-----------------------
G|--5555--5-555555-----------------------------|-----------------------

riff4 (this is a variation on Darth Vador's theme!)
speed pick
E|-------------------------------|-------------------------------------
B|-------------------------------|-------------------------------------
G|--5------8-5----8-5------------|-------------------------------------
D|--3---6--6-3----6-3----6-------|-------------------------------------
A|------4------4---------4---7---|-------------------------------------
E|---------------------------5---|-------------------------------------

In this key, the Darth Vador theme would be :
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------
G|--------------------------5-5-55-6----------------------------------
D|---3----6-3---6-3----6-3-----------6------6-3--etc.-----------------
A|------4-----4------4-----------------7--4---------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------
I wonder if this was done on purpose...

back to riff 3

riff5
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------666666555555------------------------------|
D|--333333333333333344444444------------7777776666633333666666333333--|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------|

then play riff4, riff1, riff2

riff 6a
E|------------------------------------|--------------------------------
B|------------------------------------|--------------------------------
G|------------------------------------|--------------------------------
D|--555565556/111111116/8555/6333/5---|--------------------------------
A|--333343334/9-9-9-9-4/6333/4111/3---|--------------------------------
E|------------------------------------|--------------------------------

riff 6b = riff 6a but slide to G#5 (4th position) instead of B5

then play riff3, riff4, riff3, riff5

end on : E|-----------------------------------------------------------
	   B|--slow down------------------------------------------------
	   G|-----------------------------------------------------------
	   D|--------222---3333332222223--------------------------------
