This is Your Life
(Tune down 2.5 steps to B)
Once again, thanks to Mike for sending most of the riffs to this song... and somehow, to my complete and utter amazement, Juha-Pekka Maaninen managed to work out the lead! So have fun...
Intro (extremely palm-muted):

The riff that could only have come from God:

|---2-----5-----4-----5-------------5-|
|-0-----3-----5-----7-----------------|
"birth, copulation and death!"
|-------------------------------| (and the D5 is sustained
|-------------------------------| the second time, etc.)

A similar rhythm is played under the lead, in which Bill shows off:

The solo ends with a fast E minor pentatonic run, which is a bit
too blurry to hear accurately... :(
