Chorus riffs

I'm pretty sure the notes are correct although they may be
played in a different octave, so play the same notes higher up the
neck if you don't think it sounds better.

e:----------------------------------------------------------|
B:----------------------------------------------------------|
G:-----4--2--0-----0-----------4--2--0----0---------0-------|
D:--7-----------2------2----/7-----------2----2--0h2----2h5-|
A:----------------------------------------------------------|
E:----------------------------------------------------------|

e:----------------------------------------------------------|
B:------------------------------3~--------------------------|
G:----4--2--0-------0-------2/4---2h4p2---2h4p2---2p0-------|
D:-/7-----------2-------2---------------2-------2-----2-0---|
A:--------------------------------------------------------2-|
E:----------------------------------------------------------|


e:----------------------------------------------------|
B:-3-----------------------3--------------------------|
G:---4-2-0------2--0----------4-2-0--------2--0-------|  X 2
D:---------2-0-------2--0------------2--0--------(2/)-|
A:----------------------------------------------------|
E:----------------------------------------------------|

That last bit is played twice with the bracketed note only
played on the second time.

Solo probably isn't exact but just mess around in Em
anyway.
