Thurstons tuning is -C-G-D-G-B-B- and Lee's is -G-G-D-A-G-A-.
Thurston:
Thurston does nothing in the intro, then plays this twice:
D--3----6----3---11-
G--3----6----3---11-
C--3----6----3---11-
Followed by this:
D--8-----5-
G--8-----5-
C--8-----5-
I'm not tabbing out the noise jam in the middle, but after that, the chord
progressions is:
D--5-5-x-5-5-5-X-5-5-5-x-5-8-8-10-10-
G--5-5-x-5-5-5-X-5-5-5-x-5-8-8-10-10-
C--5-5-x-5-5-5-X-5-5-5-x-5-8-8-10-10-
Lee:
All these progressions are involved in the intro somewhere. You can put them
together.
A----------------------- --13---10---3-
G----------------10----- --13---10---3- These chords are played with
A---------10--------10-- --13---10---3- wham bar.
D-----10-----10--------- --13---10---3-

version 2
Tuning: DADGBe (dropped D)
-Actually this song should be played in Eb(1/2 step down), but i'm too lazy to
tune my guitar down. Anyway it should sound the same.
-All the tremolos, bends must be made with the tremolo arm to create this
dissonant weird soud.
-I wrote the parts so when you read the tab you know exactly when the lead part
comes in the rythm part.
Gtr 1: Short delay, very light overdrive, neck pickup, boost treble
Gtr 2: Medium delay, medium distorsion, bridge pickup
~ wide tremolo
/ slide
= bend 1/4 (blues curl)
h hammer on
p pull off
* hold note
gb gradual bend

version 3
Thurston's tuning in this song is BBGDGC, though you could simply just leave the top
strings the same since the song revolves around the bottom strings (tuning A down one full
and bottom E down two whole steps, giving it a very deep and low sound).

Repeat.
For the jam, stick to the 5th fret chord, sometimes sliding up
to the 17th fret for the octave, and more or less go between the two...
