Techniques:
s-scratch (use the edge of your pick and slide it down your string while your other hand
down your fret board, your pick runs up. In this song there is a scratch at the 12th
So you finger and pick should meet at the 12th fret.)
| / slide up
| \ slide down
| h hammer-on
| p pull-off
| ~ vibrato
| + harmonic
| x Mute note
Tuning: Standard
E, A, D, G, B, E
Ok, so this song is fun as hell to play. Enjoy!

A|----------------7p5---------7p5-----------------5-5--7----|

^ ”Dive bomb” just go until you’re off of your guitar’s fret board.
Ok, now you have a choice: you can play what you just played (without the “dive bomb”)
you can play these nifty little solos!

Now onto the chorus!
This part also includes an improved solo, so I’m only going to put the background guitar.

On the last time through, finish on 5th string, 4th fret.
Now back into the verse (remember you can play the intro instead of the solos)
Solo number 1
E|----------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------15b--|
G|-----------------------------------------12-12--14-12-----|
D|----------------------------12-12--14-14------------------|

Back into the chorus we go! (again, there is another improvised solo, so I’m not going
post it)
E|------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------3------------------------3---------------------| x4
A|---------5-3-5-------3-3----------5-3-5---------------|
E|-3-4-5---------3-4-5------3-4-5---------3-4-5----1----|
On the last time through, finish on 5th string, 4th fret.
Ok, so you’ve finished the last chorus you have to do! The bass solo is the same as the
but I’ll still post it anyway:
G |----------------------0h1h2---------0h1h2------|
D |-------------0h1h2----------0h1h2--------0h1h2-|
A |----0h1h2--------------------------------------| x2
E |-----------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------|
G|-------------0h1h2-------0h1h2------------|
D|-------0h1h2-------0h1h2-------0h1h2------| x10
A|-0h1h2------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|
OR if there are two guitars playing this at the same time, one can play:
E|------------------------------------------|
B|-------------0h1h2-------0h1h2------------|
G|-------0h1h2-------0h1h2-------0h1h2------|
D|-0h1h2------------------------------------| x10
A|------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------|
Also, there is another improvised solo here, and, again, I’m not going to post it here.
Drum solo.
Then play this when the guitar comes in:
NOTE: For this part all the strumming are harmonics! Your fingers should be directly on
7th and 9th frets. Don't push down.
E|----------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------------------------------|
D|--9999999+---------9999999+---------9+--------|
A|--9999999+---------9999999+---------9+--------|
E|--7777777+---s12---7777777+---s12---7+--------|
