Guitar

The guitar intro is not played at all on the album version, only live.
Use sweep delay. On the Absolution Tour Live version (Glastonbury etc.) this was played with the tremolo on the Bomber Manson.

INTERLUDE

You can play either of the Intros, or something like this which is similar to what Matt played at Pinkpop 2004.:

E|-11----11----11----|

I posted on a muse board trying to find the extended outro of the live version, and someone posted a link to a site with this tab on it, figured id share the wealth. its the main riff he plays ,but the notes slightly vary from show to show, so have fun with it!
