*hold that last note as long as you can, while building feedback, then scratch pick down strings (use
a delay pedal if you've got it to provide echo)

   "It's     a       ceremony_____________

That same descending line will be used for the chorus as well!
During the verses, I just do this (which, if you know Sun King you will find kind of funny! (and easy!))

     Oil and blood Ceremony   Hold an eagle's feather to my heart
on my heart?

(continue playing that over the lyrics?)

A time for magic driftin' in, pushin' molten fire music in,
(yeah fire music in)
We are gathered here (yeah), in a sacred place...

This part (pre-chorus) is just raising the power chords...

Over the chorus, you get this cool harmony lick when Ian sings "It's a ceremony" as if the guitar is
singing along. That goes:
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------5----7-----5B7R5---------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------7~~~-------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

The solo you'll just have to do yourself.

In the end, just fade.  Or as the cult did in concert, do this cool little segway...
