The second time, the ending measure ("your life of dreams")
is A5 C5 D5, into the chorus:

(everybody sing along... "keep on rotting, keep on hoping...")

The other guitar plays the same root chords, and a harmony in thirds
for the most part:          the ending bit of the chorus:

Child's Play
(Tune down 2.5 steps to B)

After the bass intro, which follows the guitar part (or vice versa,
I suppose!):
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|---------------5--|-----9---9/109/8--|

|-0-0-0-0-0---0-2--|---3-3---3---3-3--|-3-3-3-3-3---3----|---0--------------|

(This intro bit actually goes E G Ab C Db, rather than E F# G C, as is
shown here for the first three measures.)

|------------------|------------------|
|-------------3----|------------------|
|-----0-----0---0--|-----0------------|
|-------0----------|---4---2------5h7-|  Play this four times, but on the 2nd
|---2-----3--------|-5-----0---5h7----|  and 4th times, substitute the
|-0----------------|------------------|  hammerons with a slide back down...

... now repeat, then into the chorus, heavily vibratoed:                A.H.
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|

|-3----------------|------------------|-3----------------|--------------3---|

Guitar 1 just does a slow gallop rythm on an open B, while guitar two plays
this:  (the gallop riff goes (6) open 2fr. 3fr. in rhythm, or something
like that)
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|-----------9-11---|------------------|------------------|
|-2----------------|-----------7-9----|------------------|------------(9)---|

                                                              slide down neck

(and I think that should prob be G5, not F#5, if I recall right, but I
haven't listened to the song in ages).

After the lead... after the first two repetition, this is harmonised up
a fifth:
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
|------5------55h7p5-4--------5----------|
|-7-757-7--5-7---------5-7-757-7---------|

Jon offers the alternative suggestion for the chorus:

Room 101
(Tune down 2.5 steps to B

Intro (let ring)
|------------------|-------------------|  And the second time, play

|----------0-------|-----------7-------|  (x35xxx, x57xxx)
|------------0-----|-2-----------5~~---|
|-2----------------|-0---2/3~~---------|
|-0---2/3~~--------|-------------------|

Here  ^^^ (and likewise  ^^^) may actually be a major third interval,
just let it ring (ie G and C chords)... this sounds close however.

Polarised
(Tune down 2.5 steps to B)

Thanks to John and Mike for their corrections, and John/Juha Pekka for the lead.

 Intro and verse (really P.M.)
|-------------------|  The last time the final two notes are played as
|-------------------|  F#5 G5 (24xxxx, 35xxxx) (before the chorus, etc.)
|-------------------|
|-------------------|  The chords under the riff are E5    A#5 G5

Interlude (let ring):
(The final Bm11 chord is definitely wrong... also, a fingering
like x3x030 might be easier for the Cadd2 arpeggio bit)
