Keep playing that cool little groove.  Guitar 2 comes in and plays:

Verse 1:
Don’t you hit that defenseless child,
what gives you that empty right?
Carry that for (the) rest of your life.
Carry that for the rest of time.

For the bridge, switch to the power chords (C5/D5).  Do a combination of strumming and
picking in the same manner as the intro riff.


Bridge:
C5                          D5 (some cool slide thing?!?)
Did they hold you down?  oh yeah
C5                              D5
Did they push you around?  oh yeah

Chorus:
A5                B5    C#5
Burning in the black sun,
Like a jackal (dog) on the run, well
A5                 B5   C#5 hold.....
Burning in the black sun...Ohh.. (that buzzing organ sound. Guitar back to opening riff)

When the organ fades, there’s a little variation on the guitar 2 riff from the opening.
I think it goes:

E|-----------7----9------------------------------------pb1/2--9p7-----------------------------------------|
B|----7h9---------------9(v| ibrato)-------------------------------------7-(vibrato)------------------------|
G|E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
"pb1/2" means Pre Bend ½ step higher.

Verse 2: (over opening riff)
Burning up in the black sun, woha, yeah.
Rotting apples, everyone.
Look at them, look at them run.
Belting out for what they have done.

Bridge: again
Chorus: (this time substitute "jackal" for "dog")

Solo: 3:16 mark: (I’ve only got what I think the beginning is...maybe some help?)

E|E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------5b(6)r5----0-----------7p5s| l4--5---0-------now what????-------------------------------------------|
D|--0--------------------0--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Gonna cut you down,
Gonna put you down,
Gonna stick you in the ground,
Gonna make it hell,
gonna make you...

Chorus (This time the chorus is done with a cool little riff that sounds simple, but
        nothing I’ve come up with sounds close enough!)

Back to the opening riff with a wah now. (Acoustic? Just keep bending where you would
        step on the wah)

Black, black sun
Black, black, black,
Black sun.

Acoustic: (Guitar 2 over opening riff, listen closely for this one!)

E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
9-----------9------------9-------------9---------------9----------(Strum these 2 notes when it starts to|
---12----------12-----------12-----------12---------------12-------get a little heavier)----------------|
--------11----------11------------11----------11--------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

(Over wah)
Universal bullies,
Ha ha ha, who’s laughing at you now?
Who’s laughing at you now?
You ain’t got no hold on me
You ain’t got no piece of me.
