(NOTE: Riffs D1 is a more complicated version of D2, which is played
       by gtr. 1 (right). Riff D2 is played by gtr. 2 (left). This is
       just how I think it is - 'cause it's difficult to say wheteher
       riff D1 or riff D2 is played. I'd suggest that riff D1 would be
       played only on the 4 bar sequence (after interlude 2), which
       leads into the last chorus/outro. Anyway, both riffs sound so
       similar, that I think: no one will blame you, if you play just
       the easier one, D2)
