Anyway, the main riff goes something like this with the rhythm strumming an E the whole time: E :----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| B :----------------|----------------|----------------|-5-4-2----------| G :----------------|----------------|----------------|-------4-2h4-2--| D :2---------------|--2-------------|2---------------|---------------2| A :--2--0---0--2---|2---2--0--------|--2--0----0--2-2|----------------| E :-------4--------|---------4-0----|--------4-------|----------------| Brian varies the little verse fills in every verse but to get started use.. Natural harmonics...... and a gradual bend E :-*12*----------------|------------------| B :-*12*----------------|------------------| G :---------------------|-9b---------------| PRE-CHORUS F#m A But if I could You know I would E Esus4 E Run away E Right now! (get a nice big pick scrape going here) CHORUS: E5 A5 D5 I can't sleep coz she snores like a chainsaw... E5 A5 D5 E5 She can't count all the pills I took E5, A5, D5 SOLO (nice and easy for a change) E:--------------------------------------| B:--------------------------------------| G:--------------------------2h4p2-1-2-1-| D:-2-1-----2-1--------2-1---------------| A:-----2-------2h4p2------4-------------| E:--------------------------------------| E:-------------|-----------------------------..X-X as B:-------------|-----------------------------..X-X many G:-----------2-|-----------------------------..X-X times D:-2-1---2-4---|-----------------------------..X-X as A:-----2-------|----------------X-X needed.--.. E:-------------|----------------X-X----------.. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ bass thing and a bit of E strumming At the end as things get a little more psychotic just keep pounding out E5, A5, D5 over and over until the cool wah/noise ending. You shouldn't have many problems figuring out the few couple of notes that make up the verses, I just can't be stuffed writting it all down :) Anyway, any comments or corrections or whatever would be cool.
