This gets transposed to positions 1 step up and 1 1/2 steps up.
Fripp also plays at the end of the riff sometimes
a "sick" sounding note which is:
(i) and (ii)

So the 1st verse is played if we call the main riff E ,
the transposed riffs of 1 and 1 1/2 steps F# and G
respectvely and including the "sick"
notes (i) and (ii) we get the sequence...
E E F# E (i) G G E (i) then 1st chorus
2nd time through it is....
E E (i) F# (ii) E (i) then 2nd chorus
The bass drones these notes as roots
for this section playing octaves for accents.
