regular tuning

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~--|
