after the third chorus, start trem picking these notes:

eventually go back into a noisier version of the chorus riff.

3rd verse:

D-----------------------------------------12-9-12-9-12-9\19-
G--12-9-12-9-12-9----16-12-16-12-16-12----12-9-12-9-12-9\---

G---------------------------------------------------
C---------------------------------------------------
D--7---9-10--\12-10--10-9\--7-9-9-10-\14-12--12-10--  play twice
G---------------------------------------------------
C---------------------------------------------------

then he goes up around the 19th fret of the high G string and it turns into a big cyclone
of noise...between the 19th fret and 12th fret of the G...so much delay that builds...

then back into chorus riff... and final verse which is same as first.

------------------------

KIM'S PART:

verses:

D-----     -----    -----
C-----     -----    -----
A--0--  or --2--    -----
D--0--     --2--    -----
G--2--     --2--    --2--
C--2--     --2-- or --2--

chorus:

D----------------------------
C----------------------------
A----------------------------
D----------------------------
G--9---12-14---7---12-10-12--
C--9---12-14---7---12-10-12--

during the instrumental, listen down the middle for that real fuzzy buzzy riff, pretty sure kim
is running a slide around the 12th to 17th fret of the low C string, the notes sound too fluid
to actually tab, so that's my theory..there's a definite rhythm to it though.
