Coward's Way Out

A lot of room for variation on this one, be creative.

After the keyboard break, there's more of the main riff, main chord, transition etc.  
Easy enough to figure out. 
Once it starts picking up, there's also a sped up version of the transition. 
Then: 

Rhythm Main 2 
The notes in between the chords are actually the keyboard, try artificial or natural  
harmonics for a better sound. 

e||---9/10--10--10---9-----------9/10--10--10---9----------|| 
B||*--9/10--10--10---9-----------9/10--10--10---9---------*||

E||---9/10--10--10---9-----------9/10--10--10---9----------||
