The next riff (riff 5) is basically the same as riff 2, except this
time it incorporates an E chord in it as well. This riff is used three
times within the song; once after the first verse, once after the
second verse, and once towards the end of the song underneath the solo.
If you wish to play the song exactly correct, make sure you take note
of weather you should be playing riff 2, or riff 5.
