Here are the correct chords and riffs. The original seems to be in
Ab, so retune if you play along to the record. Lots of hammered 6ths
throughout. To do the B5/A in the beginning, just lift your finger
off the B bass note and hit the open A. At the very end, twist the A
string's tuning peg downwards and collapse on the floor accordingly.
