Sat down and figured out at least the intro part as played in the '82 Newcastle gig.
I do believe Forbes just plays this line throughout the song. Pretty trebly, very pumping.
May not be entirely accurate since it's difficult to figure out how often notes are
played when there's tremolo picking involved, so I'd advise you to use this tab as a guideline.
 
Tremolo pick. Only played on the 10th, 9th and 7th frets.
Sounds best with some flanger, because Derek Forbes loves flanger.

I do believe this thing is repeated throughout pretty much the entire song, but
corrections etc are always welcome.
