Intro

E-----------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------|
G------------------1-------3--------|   (x4)

This next part is played throughout the verse's:

That is played 6 times, until the words say "or you'll forever be...".
Then, you play this:

"Just walking"   "as the people"

Then the intro is repeated, and the other guitarist plays this little solo:

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

Then the other guitarist does another little solo, but I don't know that part. During 
solo, the guitarist playing the main riff, plays this:

E-----------------|
B-----------------|
G-----------------|   (x8)
D-----------------|
A-----------------|

Then, its back to the main riff:

B-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G------------------1-------3-----------------------3-------5------|
D------------------1-------3-----------------------3-------5------|
A----------1---3-------3-------3-----------3---5-------5-------5--|
E--1---4---------------------------3---6--------------------------|

E-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G------------------6-------8-----------------------1---1----------|
D------------------6-------8-----------------------1---1----------|   (x4)
A----------6---8-------8-------8-----------1---3-----------3------|
E--6---9---------------------------1---4--------------------------|


There, that's the main riff. The chords played over the riff, and during all the verses, 
 F, G, Bb, then F again.
