Standard Tuning
This songґs Intro (when Iґm talking about
the intro, I mean that part with the
amazing feedback) is pretty much impossible
to reproduce. In the studio, Billy and
James used their both guitars in feedback
(one with delay/flanger, the other clean)
and an additional third guitar, which was
simply switched on and put before an amp.
They wanted to get that `airplaneґ sound…
Turn your mids and basses up, but not to
High, otherwise you will get problems with
the solos. Use some really mean and nearly
fuzzy distortion for the Interlude and for
the first chorus ,I prefer switching pick-
ups between the chords.

Rhinocerous
Planned a show
Treasoned my roots
Ice cream snow
See you in June
Could have known
I would believe
Should have known
In would come see you
The way
She knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
How itґs
She knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows
Color show
After long
I should go
See you in June
The way
She knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
How itґs
She knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows
Open your eyes – to these must I lie?
Open your eyes – to these must I lie?
The way
She knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows, she knows
How itґs
She knows, she knows, she knows
And she knows, she knows
