The other version had a few little bugs, and it wasn't the whole song, so here it is-


Tuning: Just tune the low E (6th string) really low...its fairly deep in the song 
the main riff is played on PVC pipes.

Main Riff:

e|------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------------|

      let ring for 8 counts and repeat main riff 4x

             (With much distortion)

       "I've been thinking...."
___________________________________________________________________________
  Repeat CHORUS SECTION 1 Twice. Then, after the second time, move to this part-

          repeat 4x, then go back to the Variation on the Main Riff
After repeating 4x, just start the whole thing over, until you reach the end of the 
thing for the third time. Then, after repeating the variation on the main riff several 
take this outro-

A|--2-4-4---4-3-2---2-4-4--|
