This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Then repeat the above with the other guitar playing a harmony
(up a major third, with the exception of the C# and G# notes, which
are harmonised in minor thirds... is this clear?)
|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------| |---4-5---4-5---4-|-5-7-5-4---------|---2-4---2-4---4-| |-2-----2-----2---|---------7-5-4-2-|-1-----1-----1---| |-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
|-----------------| Then again with a harmony, in perfect
|-----------------| fifths this time. The final measure
|-----------------| is different: just three G5 chords
|-----------------| to lead into the verse.
|---4-5---4-5---5-| |-3-----3-----3---|

Later on, the second riff after the intro (the palm-muted progression with
B A# G as its roots) is heard with the second guitar playing power-chords:
A#5 G5 the first time
A#5 C5 G5 A5 the second time, into the following:
"Raaargh! From your knees arise..." (corrected 2/12/01)
