The little interlude with a VERY SPECIAL EFFECT (!) is very difficult to 
transcribe.  When I play this part, I switch my WAH on and I play an E5 
power chord.  I follow the rythm with my wah pedal. 
 
The last bar of the 3rd verse have a slight variation of the main riff. 
(That's when UDO sings : "We are born to die")

Play this riff 2 times then play the same thing 2 times again but play 
it on the 6th (E) and 5th (A) strings instead of the 5th and 4th. 
After that replay 2 times this riff on the 5th and 4th strings (like the 2 
first time!)
