PLAY RIFF 4 AND FADE OUT
RAISED IN A NURSERY OF RUMBLING BRICK,
RUSTED IRON, CRACKED STONE AND STEEL,
NURTURED IN A BARREN CONCRETE CRIB,
IN A PLAYGROUND OF GREY, YOUR FATE IS SEALED,
AGAINST A BACK DROP OF DRAB, COLD CORROSION,
WE LEARN TO DANCE, LOVE, SING AND PLAY,
RAZOR WIRE THE STRUNG UMBILICAL CORD,
IN AN UNSTERILE WOMB OF URBAN DECAY,
LET ME TAKE YOU DOWN,
AS I'M GOING TOO,
PLAY HARD - LIKE CHILD'S PLAY,
PLAYING ROUGH - AFTER ALL IT'S ONLY A GAME,
NOW, REDEVELOPMENT LIES IN RUINS,
AS GUTTED SLUMS ARE SOWN,
ENVELOPING, SMOTHERING SQUALOR,
THIS DERELICTION GROWS,
OUTSIDE IT IS NOW COLD AND DARK,
ONLY DESOLATION, DARKNESS AND GLOOM,
NOT A FAR CRY FROM A TORTURED CAT,
YOUR CITIES WILL BECOME YOUR TOMBS,
LET ME TAKE YOU DOWN,
AS I'M GOING TOO,
PLAY HARD - LIKE CHILD'S PLAY,
PLAYING ROUGH - AFTER ALL IT'S ONLY A GAME

version 2
After the bass intro, which follows the guitar part (or vice versa,
I suppose!):

(This intro bit actually goes E G Ab C Db, rather than E F# G C, as is
shown here for the first three measures.)

Guitar 1 just does a slow gallop rythm on an open B, while guitar two plays
this: (the gallop riff goes (6) open 2fr. 3fr. in rhythm, or something
like that)

slide down neck
(and I think that should prob be G5, not F#5, if I recall right, but I
haven't listened to the song in ages).
After the lead... after the first two repetition, this is harmonised up
a fifth:
