Play Riff C once
Play the part of Riff C from the * three times while retiring.
End on an A power chord while this is played on an acoustic guitar:

                                             harm harm

|---4-5-4-----------4-5-4-----------4-5-4-----------|
|7---------7-----7---------7-----7---------7--------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
The two harmonics are most likely played by another acoustic guitar


The end, Bitsch!!
