Notes : It is highly unlikely that this tab can be considered as
        definitive in terms of how the song is actually played.  I
        think I've nailed pretty much all the riffs but the outro
        still bothers me somewhat - it's just too simplistic for
        Nile!  I'm sure there is something else going on but I'm
        fucked if I can decipher it correctly.

        Also, if you want the harmonies you can work them out your
        damn self!  I've done the hard work so it's the least you
        can do!
