tabbed by chris lawrence (mustang@islandnet.com)
the guitar on this song sounds like its tuned a bit sharp,
sometimes the chords in the verse sound like F...
Intro riff: (w/ wah-wah)
E--7b--------------X-X-X-X--
B------9~~---9-----X-X-X-X--
G--------------7---X-X-X-X--
D---------------------------
A---------------------------
E---------------------------
Then, the wah-wah guitar plays this chord:
E-----
B-----
G--9--
D--9--
A--7--
E-----
And the 2nd guitar plays a lower E:
E-----
B-----
G-----
D--2--
A--2--
E--0--
Sustain those chords throughout the verses, then go back into the intro riff.
After the 2nd verse, play:
E-----------------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------------
G--6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5--

E-----------------------------------------------------------
back to E for third verse.
then just play C# (w/out the change to C). this is followed
by a bass break where the guitars just spew forth noise...
then repeat the C# - C riff
for the 2nd bass break, the right speaker guitar plays:
E----------------------
B--11b-10-11b-10-11~~-- w/ mucho noize from other guitars...
G----------------------
D----------------------
A----------------------

one, it stays on the first chord for a long time, then switches briefly:
E-----------------------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------------------
G-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-13-13-13-13--
D-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-13-13-13-13--
A--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8-11-11-11-11--
