the guitars exit for a moment, then crash in with dissonant,
atonal chord thrash/drone action... i'm not going to tab it,
just keep trem/picking around the 7th fret of the middle F#s
while letting the low open strings drone out... etc etc etc...
one guitar might be using a slide... things start moving
to the 4th fret area, reminiscent of the verse riff... it's
all basically open for improvisation.

kick back in w/ the intro riff, then return to the verse.

an alternate chord progression for the verse is:

B---7----5----3----2--
E---6----4----2----2--
F#--4----2----0----0--
F#--4----2----0----0--
F#--0----0----0----0--
F#--0----0----0----0--

for the outro, one guitar plays:

B-------------
E---18brbrbr-- bend up and down, repeat
F#--16brbrbr--
F#------------
F#------------
F#------------

the other guitar keeps doing slidy things between the 17th and 12th
frets of the middle F#s, with the low F#s droning.

the bendy guitar eventually starts hitting the open F# strings,
and both guitars end hitting notes like this:

B------------------
E------------------
F#--15----16--14--- there's no real pattern, just play these notes...
F#--15----16--14---
F#---0-----0---0---
F#---0-----0---0---
