* was kind enough to let me copy a couple riffs of this song
to make a partial version for you. To have the full version, you must
get CHAOS THEORY magazine. To order CHAOS THEORY magazine, simply go to

*Note - Because there are certain parts of this song ommitted, I have
written what time the riffs are played in the song. For example,
Riff A starts at 0:00 seconds into the song, and ends 16 seconds
into the song. Riff B starts 16 seconds into the song and ends
at 44 seconds into the song. These Times are approximate, since
some CD Players are a couple seconds faster then others.
