Hit this chord and give it some light vibrato:
Guitar 1 and 2:
e|-5--------|
B|-5--------|
G|-6--------|
D|-7--------|
A|-7--------|
E|-5--------|
And then you hit it again as it transitions
into a tempo change. Just make crazy sounds
with a delay pedal and make guitar feedback
for four measures:
Guitar 1 and 2:
e|-5--------|
B|-5--------|
G|-6--------|
D|-7--------|
A|-7--------|
E|-5--------|
After the four measures, the fuzz riff comes back, but slowed down:

e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-----------5----8--------------5----8----7----5----5---------7----5----5---------|

Outro:

Then hit this chord and let it feedback:
