Thurston's riff: Play thru most of the song:

D-----------------------------------------------------------

G-7--X-X--0-7-6--X-X--0-0-0-9--X-X--0-9-8--X-X--7-7-7-7-----

E-----------------------------------------------------------

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.

0:03 0:05 0:07 0:11

D--0-(that's wrong)-------0---------19\17-17-17--19\17-17-17--19----

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.

3:04 3:10 3:18 3:23

D------------------------------------------------------------------------

C------------------------------------------------------------------------

G------------------------------------------------------------------------

C------------------------------------------------------------------------

G--7\5/9\-----9\8\7\6\5---5/7--5/7-9-----9--7-7\5----5\4---2--\3--\4--\5-
