regular tuning

^ = bend up

h = hammer on

p = pull off

here is the main bass riff that opens the song

|-------------------------------|

|-------------------------------|

|-------------------------------|

|--0--15-12-11-10-7-6--3h5p3-0--|

this is a second version played every other time

|-------------------------------|

|-------------------------------|

|-------------------------------|

|--0--15-12-11-10-7-6\-----0-0--|

this is played over the bass riff shown above

|----------------------------|

|----------------------------|

|--9^--12^----9^-9^-9^--12^--| here, Morello uses

|--9^--12^----9^-9^-9^--12^--| a whammy pedal type thing,

|----------------------------| which can be very closely

|----------------------------| imitated by just bending the notes

"...because I'm housin'"

|----------------------------|

|----------------------------|

|----------------------------|

|--------------------9--9----|

|--------------------7--7----|

|--------------------0--0----|

then I guess you can call this the bridge

|--------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------|

|--------------------------------------|

|--9--9----9--9----9--9----9--9----12--|

|--7--7----7--7----7--7----7--7----10--|

|-(0)(0)--(0)(0)--(0)(0)--(0)(0)----x--|

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

letting the open E ring here

is ESSENTIAL to the sound

I consider this next part to be the main riff

|--------------------------------|

|--------------------------------|

|--------------------------------|

|--------------------------------|

|--7--7--------5----5------------|

|--0--0--5--7----------7--5--3~--|

there it is. all but the solo
