Tune down to Drop-D tuning (DADGBE) for this one.
  For Riff A use a chorusy/spacey sounding effect
  For Riffs B and C use a heavy distortion effect. 
  When you play four repeats of Riff B you can insert this line in place of the 

3rd repeat(if that makes any sense) Listen to the original to hear what I mean
 When you play Riff C for the middle pre-outro section be aware that it needs a
Bass part on the second playing for the full effect, before it launches back 
into the chorus Riff (Riff B).This is my first attempt at Tabbing somthing for 
the internet and I hope you like it. I havent included any words so you'l
have to listen to the record to piec all the riffs together in the right order.
Also the  A Riff is slightly incorrect in its rhythm so listen to get it dead on
.
