version 3
e|------------|--------------|-------------|---------|
B|------------|--------------|-------------|---------|
G|------------|--------------|-------------|---------| x 1
D|------------|--------------|-------------|----3-3--|
A|------------|--------------|-------------|----3-3--|
E|-1/13~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~|-13\1-1--|
Slow slide, Jeff holds till feedback peaks or three measures
e|------------|--------|
B|------------|--------|
G|------------|--------| x 2
D|------------|----3-3-|
A|------------|----3-3-|
E|-1/13~~~~~~~|-13\1-1-|
Then they do a little jam in F. It's pretty much impossible to tab, since they
this part. But here's one idea:
e|-------------3-|
B|-------------3-|
G|----2-----2--3-| Listen to the song live to get the idea, but play a
D|-3--3--3--3----| couple measures like that.
A|-3--3--3--3----|
E|-1-----1-------|
Then a part to finish the quick jam:
e|---------|------------------|
B|---------|------------------|
G|-1h3-1---|-1-1-3br3br3br3-3-|
D|-------3-|------------------|
A|---------|------------------|
E|---------|------------------|
Now the main riff (slight variations sometimes like playing on the B and G instead of D
G, then changing the key a bit)
e|---------|----------|
B|-----10--|----------|
G|-----10--|-10-8-5\2-|
D|-----10--|-10-8-6\2-|
A|-8-8-----|----------|
E|---------|----------|
For the verses, play the chords detailed at the bottom.
After Chorus (Interlude)
e|------------------------|-------------12-12p10----|
B|-10--12--10--12b(14)r12-|-10--12--10-----------12-|
G|------------------------|-------------------------|
D|------------------------|-------------------------|
A|------------------------|-------------------------|
E|-------------------------|------------------------|
Then go through the next verse and chorus then the solo starts with this:
e|----------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------|
G|-7b7b7b7b7b7b7b7b7b7b7b7b7b7b7b7b-| For the most part, Jeff starts playing
D|------------------------------------| near the seventh fret, then works his
A|------------------------------------| way down to play in the first mode F
E|------------------------------------| major scale. So go ahead and improvise
away! After a while go back to the Bb
and C, then go into the first verse
again.
And that's everything. Thank god there's a good tab for this now.
