Lee's part, much like on Bone, is far more complicated. I'm sure I
screwed up too many times to count but this is what I got:
A lot of notes have delay and trem bar effects on them, so experiment.

Bend furiously with trem bar
At 1:53 Lee turns on a phaser, then at 2:07 plays:
D---19---17---19--(bend up!!!)-----
C---//--------//-------------------
G---//--------//-------------------
C----------------------------------
G----------------------------------
G----------------------------------
Trem pick the 19's and play the 17 briefly, then bend the second 19 up.
Lee plays this a few times, then dissolves into total noise. Use lots
of feedback, delay, phaser, and wild trem bar effects.
Then, when it gets quiet:
2:37 **** 2:47 2:51 2:57
D------------------- ------------------------------------------------
C------------------- ------------------------------------------------
G------------------- ------------------------------------------------
C-----------7---10-- ---7\10-----7\5\7\10----------*7*(harmonic)-----
G--4---7------------ ------------------------7--5--------------------
G--4---7------------ ------------------------------------------------
Notes aren't picked, just fretted and sustained. Where the **** Lee "plays" some hand slides.
