	        This is a great song. The begining sounds like Metallica's 'Call of the Ktulu'  
(so does 'Hangar 18,' but that's a different story). Dave Mustaine actually worte  
most of that song while he was still with Metallica. 
 
Guitar 1(light distortion)

(0:44) ('But you'll never see the pain inside of me') 
Gt.1

(1:17) ('I've walked a minefield for you') 
Gt.1

Somewhere in here, one guitar starts to bend a note. I'm not sure but I think 
it's the 12th fret the the G-sting(not that type of G-string you perverts). 
 
(1:31) 
Gt.2 
e|-----------| 
B|-----------| 
G|-----------| 
D|-10-9-8-12-| 
A|-10-9-8-12-| 
E|--8-7-6-10-| 
 
Then repeat this for a while: 
Gt.1 
e|---------| 
B|---------| 
G|-----5---| 
D|---7---7-| 
A|-0-------| 
E|---------| 
 
(1:50) ('One day the sun will die') 
Gt.1 
e|---------| 
B|---------| 
G|---------| 
D|-----5---| 
A|---7---7-| 
E|-0-------| 
 
Now the bending note shifts between the 12th fret on the G-string, and the 12th 
fret on the high E-string. 
 
(2:05) 
Gt.2 
e|----------------| 
B|----------------| 
G|----------------| 
D|-5-4-3--2-2-2-2-| 
A|-5-4-3--2-2-2-2-| repeat this riff with the Gt.1 riff at 1:50, 
E|-3-2-1--0-0-0-0-| just listen to the song for the timing. 
 
(2:57) 
Both Guitars (heavy distortion) 
e|-------------| 
B|-------------| 
G|-------------| 
D|-2-2-2-2-2-2-| (x3) 
A|-2-2-2-2-2-2-| 
E|-0-0-0-0-0-0-| 
 
e|-------------| 
B|-------------| repeat these two riffs for awhile, 
G|-------------| once again just listen to figure out the timing. 
D|-2-2-2-5-4-3-|  
A|-2-2-2-5-4-3-| <- this riff will play on it's own for awhile, 
E|-0-0-0-3-2-1-|    but then goes back to the one above too. 
 
(3:32) 
e|-----------------| 
B|-----------------| 
G|-----5-4-----8-9-| 
D|-5-4-5-4-5-4-8-9-| 
A|-5-4-3-2-5-4-6-7-| 
E|-3-2-----3-2-----| 
 
(3:43) 
e|---------------------------------| 
B|---------------------------------| 
G|---------------------------------| 
D|-2-2-2-2-5\4-2-2-2-2-5/7-2-2-5/7-| (palm mute) 
A|-2-2-2-2-5\4-2-2-2-2-5/7-2-2-5/7-| 
E|-0-0-0-0-3\2-0-0-0-0-3/5-0-0-3/5-| 
 
Now, they just modify this riff for awhile, you guy should be smart 
enough to figure it out (warning: this is played fast!) 
 
(6:03) 
e|--------------------| 
B|--------------------| 
G|-9-9-9-9-9-9--------| 
D|-9-9-9-9-9-9--5-5-7-| now go between this and the one above 
A|-7-7-7-7-7-7--5-5-7-| 
E|--------------3-3-5-| 
 
riff under solo: 
e|---| 
B|---| 
G|---| this chord is played palm muted 
D|-2-| in different patterns under the solo 
A|-2-| 
E|-0-| 
 
(7:42) (when the solo ends) 
Gt.1 
e|---------| 
B|---------| 
G|---------| this plays 'till the end 
D|-----5---|  
A|---7---7-| 
E|-0-------| 
 
Gt.2 
e|----------------| 
B|----------------| 
G|----------------| Gt.2 plays this every now and then 
D|-5-4-3--2-2-2-2-| (it's like at 2:05 in the song) 
A|-5-4-3--2-2-2-2-|  
E|-3-2-1--0-0-0-0-|  
 
The two guitars play that together, and they continue 'till 
it fades out and the song ends. 
 
Well, this is all i can do. I couldn't stand trying to figure 
out the solo...someone else can try if they want to. Dude, that's 
a long song!
