Structure
INTRO AND CHORUS 1
Guitar 3 (see the end for some notes on getting this riff to sound like the studio version)
No guitar for first 8 bars
Guitar 5 plays this in the second 8 bars
We are trembling in our crutches
High and dead our skin is glass
I'm so empty here without you
I crack my xerox hands
Guitars 2 and 4 (let chords ring)
Guitar 3
Play the above 3 times then the below once
Guitar 1 (tremolo pick the notes)
Guitar 4 (let chords ring)
No guitar
Guitars 2 and 4 (let chords ring)
Guitar 3
Play the above 3 times then the below once
Guitars 2 and 4 (let chords ring)
Guitar 3
Guitar 5
Accoustic chords (same rhythm as verse 1)
play the above three times
On the third time, guitar 1 tremolo picks this in the last 2 bars
Guitars 2 and 4 (let chords ring)
Guitar 3
Play the above 3 times then the below once
Guitars 2 and 4 (let chords ring)
Guitar 3
Guitar 1 (tremolo pick notes)
Guitars 2 and 4 (let chords ring)
Guitar 3
Play the above once then
Guitar 1 (tremolo pick the notes)
Guitars 2 and 4 (let chords ring)
Guitar 3
Play the above once then
Guitar 1 (tremolo pick the notes)

Guitar 1 (tremolo pick the notes)
Guitars 2 and 4 (let chords ring)
Guitar 3
Finally, play this once
Guitar 1 (tremolo pick the notes)
Guitar 4 (let chords ring)
Guitar 3 main riff notes
When recording this to get the sound right I found that the riff on it's own wasn't enough.
I tracked it playing the riff in three different ways on top of each other to compensate
for the odd "muddy" effect I couldn't figure out in the studio version
Let notes ring
Let notes ring
Don't let notes ring
