the guitar on this song sounds like its tuned a bit sharp,
sometimes the chords in the verse sound like F...
Intro riff: (w/ wah-wah)
E--7b--------------X-X-X-X--| B------9~~---9-----X-X-X-X--| G--------------7---X-X-X-X--| D---------------------------| A---------------------------| E---------------------------|
Then, the wah-wah guitar plays this chord:
E----- B----- G--9-- D--9-- A--7-- E-----
And the 2nd guitar plays a lower E:
E----- B----- G----- D--2-- A--2-- E--0--
Sustain those chords throughout the verses, then go back into the intro riff.
After the 2nd verse, play:
E-----------------------------------------------------------| B-----------------------------------------------------------| G--6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5--| D--6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5--| A--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-3-3-3-3--| E-----------------------------------------------------------|
back to E for third verse.
then just play C# (w/out the change to C). this is followed
by a bass break where the guitars just spew forth noise...
then repeat the C# - C riff
for the 2nd bass break, the right speaker guitar plays:
E----------------------| B--11b-10-11b-10-11~~--| w/ mucho noize from other guitars... G----------------------| D----------------------| A----------------------| E----------------------|
then another verse...
At 3:31, there's this riff, which is the same sorta rhythm as the other
one, it stays on the first chord for a long time, then switches briefly:
E-----------------------------------------------------------------| B-----------------------------------------------------------------| G-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-13-13-13-13--| D-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-13-13-13-13--| A--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8-11-11-11-11--| E-----------------------------------------------------------------|
Then, another wah-wah riff:
E---------------| B--11b-11-9~~~--| G---------------| D---------------| A---------------| E---------------|
then all guitars preach the monkey lord's gospel of white noise.
