Tuning: Drop D (D,A,D,G,B,E)
Note: This song is trickier than what it sounds and looks. I'm pretty sure
that this is basically what he's playing.

Note: I'm not sure if this is right, there is crazy effects going on here.
From what I hear, the intro is played a little different than every other
time this riff is played like during the chorus.

Play Riff 5 x8 "Remember me while you step into your glory..."
Note: After the 4th time around, play un-palm muted for the final 4 times.
The final chorus is the same as before except slightly different.
After the first part there is a pause (you'll hear it in the song, he doesn't
play the little ending fill) and then he continues with that part removed and
that is all!
