Of course the recording has many more subtleties than I have the cojones to tab here. The main riff is the only thing I'm concerned about at this moment:

(7_9 are hammer-ons.)
After the "One must tear off one's own head" intro, this riff begins with the drums as a thru-a-transistor-radio-speaker mix and is repeated throughout, unless otherwise specified...
Shout: "HEY!" (repeat main riff, in E7, until the first lines):
(E7)Who dries your eyes when you cry real tears/ Who knows or cares what (D)imitation is?(E7)
Only you do....(repeat main riff until next lines):
You can paint his nails, you can wear high heels/ Why waste time (D)altering the (E7)hemline?
Or do you.....(resume main riff until refrain):
Tear off your (B) own head. Tear off your (E7) own head.
It's a (A)Doll Revo(B)lu........(E7)tion. (repeat main riff until next verse):
You can bat your lashes, you can cut your strings/ Pull out his hair with re(D)moveable fing(E7)ers.
It looks so real.......(resume main riff until the next lines):
But one won't do, so collect a set/ Dress him in pink ribbons, put him (D) in a kitchenette.(E7)
How does this feel..?....
Repeat refrain ("Tear off your own head......")
Bridge:
(A)What's that sound? It'll (E)turn you around.
It's a (B)Doll Revolu(E)tion.
They're (A)taking it over and they're (E)tearing it down,
It's a (B)Doll Revolu(E)tion.......(Revolution....)
In verse 3, the main riff is tacet until (*).
(E7)You can pull and pinch him till he cries and squeals/ You can twist his body till it (D)faces backwards(*E7)Plastic features.....(resume main riff until:
(E7)Could make somebody a pretty little wife/ But don't let anybody tell you (D)how to live your life.(E7;resume main riff)Broken pieces...
Repeat refrain twice, repeat bridge and ad-lib to fade.
Happy strumming!
