Riff D: Play this bit just before the chorus, when the singer
says "I hope you feel cheated at home with all your lies lies
lies lies lies".

|-----------------|------------------|--9
|-5--------5-4-5--|-10----10-9-10----|--9
|-5--------5-4-5--|-10----10-9-10----|--7
|-3--------3-2-3--|--8-----8-7--8----|---



Riff E: On the chorus...there's a picking pattern around these,
but these are the chords it's based around. The picking might be
the same as the original, but I can't pick that well so I don't
know. Note that the word is said with the chord BEFORE this riff, 
on the overhanging bar of riff D2.

Illumination...
                        let ring
|----------------|------------------|
|----------------|------------------|
|-4--7-----7-----|-4--7-9-----------|
|-4--7--5--7-----|-4--7-9-----------|
|-2--5--5--5-----|-2--5-7-----------|
|-------3--------|------------------|


You don't play the last chord, E5, on the last time of Riff E. At
the end of the song, you play that chord twice.

Have fun, and if anyone can get the picking for the chorus let me know!
