The Private Pain Of Techno Destructo

Gwar

Text File

The other tab for this song isn't right. 
I've sat at my computer with my guitar replaying that song over and over to get it right. 
I'm not completely sure about some things but this is close enough...

Tune all strings half-step down

INTRO
The weird beginning electronic sound is hard to do with just a guitar and an amp, 
but I've heard it played like this live...
