------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HELICOPTER - Butthole Surfers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Tyler J Email: full_metal_orange AT hotmail DOT com Tuning: Standard G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------------------------14-14--14-14-14-15-15\--| E--0-0--0-0-0-3-0-0-0-0-3-0-0-0-0-3-0-0-0-0-0--0-0--0-0-0-10--------------------------| w/ fuzz... bend the non-open notes on the low E a bit. that's the basic riff... there's a few variations but i don't feel like tabbing them all.... chorus: G-------------------------------------------------| D--------------------\17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17--| repeat A--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--| E-------------------------------------------------| alternately, you can play the A on the 12th fret of the A string and cross over to the 12th fret of the G string. it's probably easier to have the droning A so you can vary the high note like the other choruses... so those are the basic riffs, jeff improvises a lot around them, but they are the core riffs. the outro just jams away on the main E riff, w/ tons of skronky improv. the heavy distortion is pretty essential to the overall sound. ------------------------------------------------- THE BUTTHOLE SURFERS GUITAR/BASS TAB ARCHIVE: http://www.islandnet.com/~mustang/1401/index.html -------------------------------------------------
