Then straight back into the main riff part for the chorus, then another verse,
then another chorus, then:
Interlude: Just mess about in the D pentatonic or major scale (songs in D) it’ll
sound vaguely similar and will fit in whatever you do.
E--------7------------------10---- E------7------9---10----
A--------7------------9----------- A------7------9---10----

e--------7------------------10---- e------7------9---10----
D Major Pentatonic D Major Full (Ionian)
Just mess about with these and some chords in ‘D’ e.g. d, d7, dsus2, e, etc. Then…

Finally, the subtle change to the main riff is:
p.o. p.o. p.o. p.o. p.o.
E----------------^----------^----------------------------------
A------0-------3--0-------3--0--------^------^------^----------
D------0-------------0----------0---3--0---3--0---0--0---------

E-----2-----3-----4----0---------
A--------------------------3---5-

add this in every other bar on the final chorus (listen to the cd).
Then final thing:
g
E-------------------
A------9999x9999\---
D------8888x8888\---
G------9998x9999\---
B-------------------
e-------------------
KEY:
p.o. = pull off
h.o. = hammer on
g = gliss (slide)
p.m. = palm mute
Sounds best with high distortion with the bridge pickup.
