Bigger Wave tab

Bigger Wave

This is my third tab or so, and I'm incredibly bad at it. I'm sure that I'm completely 
deaf and I missed most of this, but I might have gotten some of it right.
OSI's Bigger Wave is one of my favorite songs, ever. I've listened to it enough that I 
sing the entire song without missing a beat, now. I am a very mediocre guitarist...
As a matter of fact, I have only been playing for about a year and a half now, but I've 
my best to tab out the song. Please, don't flame too harshly. At least I tried. Which is 
more than most of the people who are set to flame me have actually done.
The song may be played a half step down, or with Drop D. I haven't tried it that way 
actually :P. I used plain standard with this one, but I'm clearly a weaker guitarist than 
people reading this right now.


Riff 1:
e|-----------------------------|
b|-2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2---2-0-|
g|-----------------------------|
d|-----------------------------|
a|-----2-----2-----2-----2-----|
e|-----------------------------|
then
e|---------------------------0-|
b|-2-2---2-2---2-2---2-2---3---|
g|-----------------------------|
d|-----------------------------|
a|-----2-----2-----2-----2-----|
e|-----------------------------|
Repeat five times.

Riff 2:

e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
b|--2-----------------------2----------------0------------------------------------|
g|------------------------------------------------------------------1----0--------|
d|--4-----------------------2----------------0----------------------2----2--------|
a|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
    First think of a name (-ame, -ame...) Okay. Try to keep it the same, a-all day

Repeat as necessary.

Solo intro 1, with heavy distortion:


e|------------------------------------|
b|------------------------------------|
g|------------------------------------|
d|------------------------------------|
a|-0---0---0---0---0---0--------------|
e|---3---3---3---3---3---3-3/5/6/9/10-|

Solo intro 2:

e|-------------------------------------|
b|-------------------------------------|
g|-------------------------------------|
d|-------------------------------------|
a|-0---0---0---x-x--0---0--------------|
e|---3---3---3-------3----3-3/5/6/9/10-|

I can't figure out the solo, I'm not really very good on guitar, but I figure you can 
how the riff goes with enough skill.
I believe that the chords played during the echoey "I was thinking there's a bigger 
section are Am, Em, and Dm, with some improvisation.
Repeat the previous riffs, and you should be able to figure out the rest of the song.
