Note: the riff essentially begins with the last bar of the preceding section. So from the fourth bar of E(5)
here, or from the eighth bar of Verse 1. Play one more bar of palm muted open E's before beginning the verse.
But when using it for the solos, the first bar notated here is the first bar of those sections.

This is in drop D tuning (DADGBe). The chords shown above are 2 steps higher than they're supposed to be (IE, chorus is played F, C, Dm, Bd etc). F is played as a power chord on 6th string, 3rd fret and 5th string 3rd fret. All others played as power chords in standard pattern.
The bottom E (tuned to D) can be used as a drone string to simulate the bass.
