Ah Chico's gonna have his share
Mornin' sad mornin'

Play Riff B once
Then play only the end of it (below) 3 times.

And here's the famous Morricone riff :
Riff C
(end riff C)
Repeat Riff C once normaly then,
Once without guitar 2 (wah-wah) for the first half
And here's the "GRUNGY" part:
guitar 2 kills its wah-wah, and stomps on its mother fuzz
| guitar 1 | 8 times
