(play that until the Riff 3, with both guitars playing the same)
Riff 2 (this is probably Paul playing it, starting at 00:30)

play it 2 times, then this:

B ----------------|
G ---7-7----------|
D ---5-5-7-7------|
A -------5-4------|
E ----------------|
And the last, 4th time play the first part of the Riff 3.
Play the whole Riff 3 through the verse, and the chorus comes with the Riff 4 (still
played by both guitars)

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Then again play Riff 3 (verse) and Riff 4 (chorus). When the second chorus ends, you can
slide the last chord to 0. Sorry for no solo tabs but I'm playing guitar for 2 years
and I can hardly write normal tabs, solos are just impossible for me to play 'em from
the song... Still, I think Graham is playing the first solo, so Paul is playing Riff 2 (I'm
not sure 'cause I can hardly hear him, Nibbs and Graham are totally howling him down).
With the second, Quinny's solo, you play Riff 3. Now the breakdown:
e ----------------------|
B ----------------------|
G -----7~~--------------|
D -----5~~---7~~--9~~---|
A -----------5~~--7~~---|
E ----------------------|
this is the riff played by 'em while those "Solid Ball of Rock!" screams; play it 3
times, at the fourth time play this instead:
e ----------------------------|
B ----------------------------|
G -----7~~--------------------|
D -----5~~---7~~---3-3-3-3-3--| (repeat the last chord until the verse)
A -----------5~~---1-1-1-1-1--|
E ----------------------------|
. . . . .
Then you come with Riff 3 and Riff 4, you play Riff 4 until the end of the song.
