Repeat that once.

Yet another part: (a little faster than previous progressions)

e |------------------------|--------------------------------|

B |------------------------|--------------------------------|

G |-(3)/7~-0-(3)/5^0-3-0-:-|-/12~-0-(3)/5^0-3^0-:--5-(hold)-|

D |-(3)/7~-0-(3)/5^0-3-0-:-|-/12~-0-(3)/5^0-3^0-:--5-(hold)-|

A |----------------------^-|--------------------^-----------|

E |----------------------|-|--------------------|-----------|

repeat repeat

Now, right after that last 5-5 power chord, there's a little

piece that I can't figure out. It leads to this fast part, tight

with the drums:

e |---------------------------------------------------------|

B |---------------------------------------------------------|

G |-(2)/3\2^0-(2)/3\2-0-(2)/5\3-0-(right here I usually play some)

D |-(2)/3\2^0-(2)/3\2-0-(2)/5\3-0-(fast 0-0 "fills"; 3 or 4, drums)

A |---------------------------------------------------------|

E |---------------------------------------------------------|

Repeat several times.

I'm not sure what the standard nomenclature is, but here is what

I meant:

(X)/Y : Start slide at X fret, slide up to Y fret.

X^Y : Pull slide off strings.

X~ : Hold and "wiggle" slide for a tremolo effect.
