 (1st verse)
  Oh to be the fire, I am just a man
  Oh to walk the wire, believing that I can
  And reach on down your throat to tear it out
  Find out what the beatings all about

Now the Chorus:

Riff C:

Fill 3:

|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|2---------------|2---2---2---2---|2---2---2-------||

For the 2nd verse, play Riff B and Riff C again, after that, repeat 
Fill 2 and instead of the last D#, hold a D (lowest 

string, 1st fret)

 (2nd verse)
  Oh to slay the liar, he speaks for me, a man
  Oh to try, conspire, believing that I can
  And reach into your heart to pull it out
  Find out what the beating's all about

 (Chorus)
  Justify my envy
  Jealousy to fail
  In perfect, deadly harmony
  Hold the Devil by the tail
  Devil by the tail

Then we enter the faster part, first, the guitar plays for 8 measures, 
when the bass and drums enter, the bass plays this 

easy riff,
during the bridge as well:

Riff D (Play 8 times, vocals enter 5th time):

|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-||

 (Bridge)
  Run your Devil up the pole
  Into my domain
  The forgotten drool, like rabid dogs
  By any other name
  They growl, they bark, they gnaw at me
  I still hear them wail
  Play to hold what I hold
  A Devil by the tail

During the "DEVIL...by the TAIL"-part, the bass plays this

Riff E:

|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|2-3---3---3---3-|0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|2-3---3---3---3-||
 Devil                      by the tail

Then repeat riff D once

 (Bridge)
  Run your devil out your soul
  By any other name

The second "DEVIL...by the TAIL"-part is pretty much the same 
as the first one, except for the last measure

Fill 4:

|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|2-3---3---3---3-|0-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|2-3---5-6-------||
 Devil                      by the tail

Then repeat Riff D once and play Riff E twice. After that, repeat 
Riff D 4 times.

 (Bridge)
  Devil, devil, devil, devil

  Hey mr. Lucifer, do you have my pay?
  I'm done with working here as of today
  Hey mr. Savior, to you ever seem to fail?
  And got what I got, a Devil by the tail

The finishing riff is repeated until the end of the song

Riff F (Repeat and fade):

|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------||
|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|0-3---3---3---1-||

 (Bridge)
  Devil, devil, devil, devil
