I really like the weird feel to this song. It's kind of.... you know.... weird. Anyway, i've spent a pretty long time figuring out the little details in this song. But still, there some parts i'm not sure of. Here's my version. like for most AIC songs, guitars must be tuned 1/2 step down. Main Riff. A ???? e:---0---0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0------ B:---2---2--2-2-2--6--6-6-6-6-6-6-6------ G:---2---2--2-2-2--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0------ D:---2---2--2-2-2--5--5-5-5-5-5-5-5------ A:---0---0--0-0-0--0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0------ E:--------------------------------------- After a couple of times, when the band comes in, the second guitar plays something like this... A e:------0-------------------------(12)--- (), represents B:-----------2----------------(12)------- harmonics G:----2----2---2----------(12)----------- D:--2-----------------(12)--------------- A:--------------------------------------- E:--------------------------------------- Or something like this... A e:---------0-----------------------(12)-- B:-------------2---------------(12)------ G:----2------2---2---------(12)---------- D:--2---2--------------(12)-------------- A:--------------------------------------- E:--------------------------------------- I'm not too sure about these parts. I think he improvises most of the time. But it's close enough.
