   - The strumming pattern isn't 
right, so play it any way you think 
sounds      good.
   - Over the above, lay these 
licks...

    -  This is the basic fast-tempo 
metal format of the song; various 
bridges
     and things include bars on the 
10th, 3rd, 5th and zeroth frets.  It
 would
     take up less space if I 
ommitted those.

   -Again, the strumming pattern 
isn't perfect.  Repeat the intro 
part and the
  next verse.  For that 2nd "shot 
full of diamonds", Billy slaps on a 
positive
  Octaver.  Also, add these licks 
over the 2nd intro (confused yet?)
