Then we get the main riff, in 3/4. 
This part is written
in time. The first two notes are 
quavers and the second two
crotchets.

They boarded up the synagogues, Uzis
 on a street corner

Same until we get to the change, 
which is just arpeggios of Gm and 
EbM7

The next different bit is at the 
point.

  The more I see the more I hear the
 more I find fewer answers..

which has this little bit twice. 
Check the CD for the timing.

After this bit we get some weird 
arpeggios. The first is Db with a
Bb bass, but the second - I'm not 
sure if this is right as the guitar
part is buried.

To calm down....

Then the solo - this is the first 
time I've transcribed a fastish
solo, so no flames please if it's 
not 100% accurate. The | here do
not represent bar lines, merely a 
tidy way of ending the lines.

The solo is followed by a fast 
version of the main riff,
played on distorted guitar. This is 
again written in time.

Gm and EbM7 arpeggios are again 
played under the 'Where do we go
from here's, this time on distorted 
guitar.

There is more, but for now, I've had
 enough. It carrys on in
a similar vein, all in Fm until the 
end.
