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 EsusE 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.
