The little interlude with a VERY 
SPECIAL EFFECT (!) is very difficult
 to
transcribe.  When I play this part, 
I switch my WAH on and I play an E5
power chord.  I follow the rythm 
with my wah pedal.

The last bar of the 3rd verse have a
 slight variation of the main riff.
(That's when UDO sings : "We are 
born to die")

Play this riff 2 times then play the
 same thing 2 times again but play
it on the 6th (E) and 5th (A) 
strings instead of the 5th and 4th.
After that replay 2 times this riff 
on the 5th and 4th strings (like the
 2
first time!)
