Francis:

I'm not quite sure about how the mainriff is being played by Francis.
I had many possible solutions but I've finally written this one down.
But I'm talking about small details here, the base covers his playing.
For instance I'm not sure if he's playing the full A-chord. You can't
really hear him playing the third (C#) and the (E) on some places,
but on other places you can.

*This might be an overdub. So you can also continue
the same pattern as during the first three beats.

Solo and overdubs:

On this spot the solo begins. I've written down the solo and overdubs
in one breath because I think they're on the same track.
