*:bend 2nd and start picking fast while sliding up to 17th fret without
actually fretting,thus causing harmonics.
Then do this:
|-0-(5)-(5)-(5)-(5)---| Strike harmonic at 5th then make noise on muted
|------x---x---x---x--| strings g and b.The rythm may feel a bit awkward
|-----x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-| at first,but you`ll soon get the hang of it.

Verse 2:
Lay your bodies down, i?m in your beds, your beds
Pull your headphones on, i?m in your heads, ah
?n? i?m hangin?ten now baby, as i ride your sonic, ooh wve
(good god, y?all)
After the solo, play the pre-verse part again (the harmonics all being on
the 5th fret,you?ll get the point if you listen.)then do the "beep" part
again, a little bit longer(for the drums to fill in)then its verse again with
some minor changes not worth tabbing,then play the chorus until end.
Since the recorded version fades out at the end,
Turn your radios on
I'll appear right there, yes I will
Turn me up real loud
I'm in your ears
Now I'm hanging ten now baby
As I ride your sonic, wave
Good God y'all
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Oh yeah
One time
Fire
Fire
Fire
Woo
Yeah, ah-ha
woo, woo
Lay your bodies down
I'm in your beds, your beds
Throw your headphones on
I'm in your heads
Now I'm hanging ten now baby
As I ride your sonic, wave
Good God y'all
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
