There's two different "versions" of this riff in the song.
I've tabbed the chord formation and progression, if you want the
"chuka-chuka" sound of the guitar in the left channel, hit the muted G B
and E strings (that's the way I like it). Of course, to get the rhythm
right listen to the cd. I like to play the first four or six strums as
downstrokes only and then do alternate (up and down) strumming for the rest
of the riff. It gives it a kinda funky feel rather than a metal feel.
DROP-D tuning.

RIFF TWO:
E--x-8--x-x-8--x-x-8--x-x-8--x-x--- Well, I'd tab out all eight required
B--x-10-x-x-10-x-x-10-x-x-10-x-x--- but four is enough. The x's
