Comments:
I will only show the bottom three strings throughout this tab.
Guitars are drop-Db tuned, which means tune to Eb but drop the sixth
string to Db. Hanneman is the LeftGtr and King the RightGtr.

Play Riff B2, but change the last bar to 9/8. This is a very subtle
transition, be careful not to get caught off the beat.

Play Riff E with lyrics:
Why face the human question The need to hate
Dead stare through cynical eyes A trust in only pain
Murder within the skin Engrave the art of war
Become death's vile parade March on, embrace the violent mind
Then play: Can't stop the warring factions!

Listen closely to the picking rhythms Hanneman plays while King solos.
Damn, I wish I could play that tight.
