The rest of the song is repeat, and when the intro is repeated again, the second riff is
same except it has E5 and D5 power chords at the end(power chords on the twelfth and
frets of the bottom E string at the end).
I haven't tabbed the last solo yet, so just improvise on the C# minor penatonic scale
now.
