This riff is played throughout the song with some minor variations and fills. The two
are slight (1/4 tone) and short. The slide is not used to slide up to the twelfth fret
Don't forget to use your wah pedal!

It sounds like Rich plays the second ending I have tabbed out here during the first
only (though on the Brothers of a Feather CD/DVD, he plays the first ending twice for the
pre-chorus, most likely because the second ending is tougher to play while having a
on your little finger). The second pre-chorus just repeats the first ending, and the
and final
pre-chorus is as follows:
C--------------------------0-----------------------------|----------------------------------|
A----4-4-3-3----2-2-1-1----0-----------------------------|--4-4-3-3----2-2-1-1----/--12--0--|
F----3-3-3-3----1-1-1-1----0-----------------------------|--3-3-3-3----1-1-1-1----/--12--0--|
C----5-5-3-3----3-3-1-1----0-----------------------------|--5-5-3-3----3-3-1-1----/--12--0--|
F----3-3-3-3----1-1-1-1----0-----------------------------|--3-3-3-3----1-1-1-1----/--12--0--|
C----------------------------2-3-4-5--2-3-4-5--2-3-4-5--|----------------------------------|
That is played right after the solo. On the repeat, instead of playing the riff on the
C string, you immediately
slide up to the twelfth fret, then hit an open F and right back into the chorus again. Listen
the song for the timing.

Horsehead go you bug eyed
Horsehead left the day for night
Horsehead ain't no dragonfly
Horsehead help you live a lie
You can not see the hole in front of you
And I will see you down if you want me to
You are blessed with just one life
All you are is what's inside
If you take, then step aside
Jesus gave until he died
Horsehead feel your soul fall
Horsehead gonna take a die
Horsehead ain't no good at all
Horsehead said you're gonna die
