|0--1-0--6-34--0--1-0-3-5---------|3 X3  you just play the 5th fret powerchord
                                instead of sliding down to the 3rd fret.

|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------    this little tune is played under the solo--|
|2----0-1-0--3----0-1-0------------------------------------------------|    i suck at

and random notes. I will try and tab it...

|------------------------------|
|------------------------------|
|------------------------------|
|------------------------------|       back to this beastie, then the song finishes
|-----2-----2------------------|       on an open E chord, or whatever it's called
|6-00-0--00-0-3-5-6-5-3--------| X8    in this tuning...
