Lee's Tuning: GGDDFF Thurston's tuning: GGDDEbEb I don't take credit but am just passing foward the tab. Lee's part... the song starts off with a bit of studio weirdness, until T's guitar (right speaker) chimes in. when the drums kick in, lee starts playing the verse riff... F-----------0----------------------0---------------------0------0----0---0---| F-----------0----------------------0---------------------0------0----0---0---| D---2---2-------2---3----3--3---3-----3--3--3/7---7---7-----7------7---7---7-| D---2---2-----------3----3--3---3--------3--3/7---7---7----------------------| G---2---2-----------3----3--3---3--------3--3/7---7---7----------------------| G---2---2-----------3----3--3---3--------3--3/7---7---7----------------------| the chorus starts with something like this... F------------------| F------------------| D----7\5--5----5---| D----7\5--5----5---| G----7\5--5----5---| G----7\5--5----5---| then, it goes on to this... F---5--5--5--5---4--4--4--4----0--0--0-------------------------------| F---5--5--5--5---4--4--4--4----0--0--0-------------------------------| D-------------------------------------------5--5/7--7--7--7--7--7----| D----------------------------------------5--5--5/7--7--7--7--7--7----| G----------------------------------------5--5--5/7--7--7--7--7--7----| G----------------------------------------5--5--5/7--7--7--7--7--7----| play that twice, then play this... F---5--5--5--5----4--4--4--4---------------------------------------------| F---5--5--5--5----4--4--4--4---------------------------------------------| D------------------------------------12--12---10---12--10--10---12-------| D------------------------------------12--12---10---12--10--10---12-------| G------------------------------------12--12---10---12--10--10---12-------| G------------------------------------12--12---10---12--10--10---12-------| {_______play this part 4 times_______} then, go back to verse.... The bridge is rather tough to figure out, since lee's guitar is mixed very low. but, from what i can figure out, he just plays these three chords.... F-----0----------7------9-------| F-----0----------7------9-------| D-----8----------0------0-------| D-----8----------0------0-------| G-----0----------0------0-------| G-----0----------0------0-------| coming out of the bridge, lee plays something like this... F--------------------------2---------| F--------------------------2---------| D---7--7--7--7--7--7-------0---------| D---7--7--7--7--7--7-------0---------| G---7--7--7--7--7--7-------0---------| G---7--7--7--7--7--7-------0---------| then, T plays some weirdness, then it's back to the verse... after the last verse, lee plays something like this: F-------------------------------5----5----5-----5------4----4----4-----4----| F-------------------------------5----5----5-----5------4----4----4-----4----| D----7\5---5----5-------------0----0----0----0-------0----0----0----0-------| D----7\5---5----5-------------0----0----0----0-------0----0----0----0-------| G----7\5---5----5-----------------------------------------------------------| G----7\5---5----5-----------------------------------------------------------| play that last part a couple times, then pick behind the bridge with some whammy action... Thurston's part.... Intro: for the intro, he plays this chord Eb-----12--------| Eb-----12--------| D------12--------| D------12--------| G----------------| G----------------| for the verse, T plays a lot of madness. there are a lot of whammy bends high up the neck, as well as a lot of open D dips during the first verse. just listen to the record, and have fun with it..... for the chorus, T starts with a long pick slide, then doubles Lee's part like this Eb------------------------------------------------------------------------| Eb------------------------------------------------------------------------| D-----8--8--8--8---7--7--7--7----3--3--3---------5---5/7--7--7--7--7------| D-----8--8--8--8---7--7--7--7----3--3--3-----5---5---5/7--7--7--7--7------| G--------------------------------------------5---5---5/7--7--7--7--7------| G--------------------------------------------5---5---5/7--7--7--7--7------| then go to this part... tremolo pick Eb------------------------------------------------------------------12-----| Eb------------------------------------------------------------------12-----| D---8--8--8--8---7--7--7--7----12--12---10---12---10--10---12-------12-----| D---8--8--8--8---7--7--7--7----12--12---10---12---10--10---12-------12-----| G------------------------------12--12---10---12---10--10---12--------------| G------------------------------12--12---10---12---10--10---12--------------| {___play this part four times______} then, it's back to the verse... for the bridge, T plays more whammy stuff.... coming out of the bridge, T plays this... Eb---12--12--12--12--12--12--12----------------------| Eb---12--12--12--12--12--12--12----------------------| D----12--12--12--12--12--12--12----------------------| D----12--12--12--12--12--12--12----------------------| G------------------------------------0---------------| G------------------------------------0---------------| then he tremolo picks this to go back to the verse: Eb---12------| Eb---12------| D----12------| D----12------| G------------| G------------| then, it's back to the verse..... after the last verse, T play something like this... Eb-------------| Eb-------------| D---7\5---5----| D---7\5---5----| G---7\5---5----| G---7\5---5----| for the outro, just play a lot of stuff behind the bridge, and other noises
