Notes: Transcribed is the pre-chorus riff, although it is also the same
rhythm as the verses. The verse riff is very low in the mix, using
just the root notes; it is accompanied by sampled moans. The verse
riff is indicated by the lower-case notes.

Notes: The first time the riff is played, the bass leaves off the first
D note of the riff. During the intro and verses, there is an
acoustic guitar playing the riff. The riff is a variation of the
original Black Sabbath riff found on PARANOID. Jerry Cantrell
plays various fills and solos throughout.

Notes: The instruments are treated with a number of effects. The section
designated "noise" represents the number of measures played without
any distinct riffs. Towards the end of the song, there is a drum
(tuned to D) on beats two and four; this is shown in Riff 2.
