d |---------------------------------------------(4)--|
A |--------------------------------------------------|

D |-5------4-----5-----5\4------5-----1---2---4------|... 

(and now we continue with Mark's transcription)

intro:  ( play twice )
C)-----------------------------------------------
G)---3---4---6----5-----3---4---6-----------2
D)---1---2---4----3-----1---2---4----0--0--0

F)----------------------------------------8--------------7
C)----------------------------------------8--------------7
G)--3--4--6----5-----3--4--6--------------6--------------5
D)--1--2--4----3-----1--2--4----0--0-----------0--0------

main riff:   ( this riff is played in a similar style
to the main riff in Metallica's  "Creeping Death." )
C)---2--2-----------2-----------2---------2-----------------------------
G)---2--2-----------2-----------2---------2-------------4-h-5----2-p-0
D)-----------0--0--------0--0---------0--------0--0---------------------
                        
that riff is played after the intro and during the
verses.  When the band comes in, one guitar plays the main riff, while a
second guitar plays:
C)---2-------5-------8-------5
G)---2-------5-------8-------5
D)---0-------3-------6-------3

then both guitars play:
C)-------------5---4-------------3--3--3--------------
G)---5---4-----3---2-------------1--1--1---------4--4
D)---3---2---------------0--0----------------0---2--2

then the first verse begins.  Play the main riff.
then this is the part where Karl sings:  "history repeats itself"...
C)------------5---4------3--3
G)---5---4----3---2------1--1
D)---3---2---------------------
                     
the second time he sings: "history repeats itself"..., play:
C)------------5---4--------------3--3--3-----------------------
G)---5---4----3---2--------------1--1--1-----4-/-5---5---5-/-4
D)---3---2--------------0--0-----------------2-/-3---3---3-/-2

pre chorus:  ( "I was born in a nightmare"...) play twice
C)---2------------------------------------5-----
G)---2---------------5---7-p-5-----------------7
D)---0-----5-/-7-------------------7------------

C)--2----------------------------------
G)--2-------------5--------------------
D)--0----5-/-7---------7--5--3-------

C)--2----------------------------------5-------
G)--2-------------5---7-p-5------------------7
D)--0----5-/-7------------------7--------------

C)--2-----------------------5-------5--/--7
G)--2-------------5---------5-------5--/--7
D)--0----5-/-7---------0----3---0---3--/--5
                    
chorus:   ( "the teeth in the gears of the killing machine"...)
F---5-------5--5--5--\--4--4-------4
C)--5-------5--5--5--\--4--4-------4
G)--3--3-3--3--3--3--\--2--2--2-2--2
D)----------------------------------

"are getting sharper as time moves on"...
F)---------------7-----6
C)---------------7-----6
G)---5----8------5-----4
D)---3----6-------------
                          
repeat that rhythm until he sings: "damned for all time".  for that, play:
F)------------8----10
C)------------8----10
G)---5---8----6-----8
D)---3---6------------
                               
now go back to the main riff and repeat all that shit.  then this is the 
part where it speeds up after Karl sings "damned for all...":
F)--6----------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7
C)--6----------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7
G)--4-----5-/-7--7---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5
D)--------3-/-5--5----------------------
                               
repeat that several times.  then play:   ( 4 times )
C)--6---8---7-----6---8---7-------     ***
G)--4---6---5-----4---6---5-------     ***
D)----------------------------------0    ***
                                
this is the slow part:
C)--------6--5-----------5--4----------3----------8--------10
G)--5-----4--3------5----3--2-----5----1-----5----6----7----8
D)--3---------------3-------------3----------3---------5------
                         
then it gets fast as fuck again.  first the bass, then the guitars come 
in:
C)-------------------------------------------------------
G)--2--2--2--5-------4-------4-/-5--5--5-\-4--4--2
D)--0--0--0--3--0-0--2--0-0--2-/-3--3--3-\-2--2--0
                         
then recall the rhythm marked with " *** "  now we're almost done.  the 
last rhythm is:
C)--------------------------------------------------------
G)--3--3--3----6--6--6----5--5--5---5-/-6--6--6-\-5--5-\-3
D)--1--1--1----4--4--4----3--3--3---3-/-4--4--4-\-3--3-\-1

they finish the song with that rhythm, slowing down gradually. that's it, 
my friends.  Hope you can make some sense outta this!  This song rocks.  
Have some fun!
