The Song Remains The Same

and the third 12 plays these chords:

 Now one 12 stops playing and one 12 plays these chords
 while the second 12 plays the same chords but with an open D-string
 instead of a second fret D.

 Now this chord sequence is played by 2 12's the same way
 and repeat it.                  /-again the 2nd 12 plays the open D on this chd

Next is both 12's playing this:

Next one of the 6 strings come in with the 2 12's to play this:

 One this next distorted part,
 the six string plays this:           and 12's play this

Here is the 2 12's backing part to the first solo:

And the first 6 string solo:

Now the 6 string plays this figure a few times:

 And ends it with this:

 The 2 12's play this after the solo: and end that section with a bunch of
                                              /-these

During the vocals, the 2 12's play on this basic pattern with a few
subtle changes on the first couple of measures.

While the 6 plays this on the first two measures.

And on the third measure the 12's play this:

And the 6 plays this:

              Heres that mid section thing:

On the last measure of the vocal part, the 6 plays this:
Then just bend the g-string 5th fret up and pick it as you release the bend.

The second solo is this:

 After the next vocals bit, The 12's play this chord sequence
 hitting each one 3 or 4 times:
                           /--now just arpeggiate this chord

After that, the 12's play this:

The 6 string part over that is:

And then the power chords with the 12's and the 6

Next is as little soloing over the rythym laid down by the 2 12's and 1 6

 Now w/heavy distortion repeat this figure a few times and end it w/
 that last little chord.

Well that's about all of it.  Sorry for any mistakes.
CHUCK
