New Orleans is a Dying Whore

by Down

from the album II

Transcribed by Matthew Writt

One of the most rockin songs on the album!

Fuck you, I play rhythm. no solo. so sorry.

Tuning: BEADGB

Main/Intro riff:

*F#5

A: --------------------------|----------x-4-x-4---4

E: 4-4-4-4--2p0-0h2-3^p0-0h2-|-4-4-4-4--x-2-x-2-0h2

B: 2-2-2-2-------------------|-2-2-2-2-------------

There is definitely some wah on this riff. I think one

guitar plays it w/o wah at the same time. It just doesn't

quite sound right w/o the wah (right Ford??). I finally

got my crybaby working and the riff sounds much better

with it.

*During the verses, the 2nd half of the above riff is

simply the F#5 chord with a 1/4 step bend. One guitar

will hit random pinch harmonics while the other bends

the F#5 chord. Just play around w/ the harmonics.

Chorus: This one hell of a ball-busting riff!

@ @

A: -----4^---4^-2-1

E: --0h2--0h2---2-1

B: 2------2--------

@: These notes are pinch harmonics the first 2 times

through and after that they are just hit really hard

to give 'em a tinny sound. Maybe one guitar does pinch

harmonics and the other plays the note as-is? I dunno.

Do what sounds good to you.

Solo: Fuck you, i told you i aint doin it.

The rhythm part is just the Main riff w/ the C# chord

played as 8th notes instead of quarters. and the following is

played at one part...

A: -----------------x-4-x-4-2h4

E: 5--7-8--/11-10~--x-2-x-2-0h2

B: ----------------------------

Next is Ghosts Along the Mississippi!!!
