the Minutemen - "The Maze," Track 2 from "Paranoid Time," 1980.
(Also available as track 2 on Post-Mersh Volume 3.)
It seems like tuning to E Standard in 446 Hz will work if you want to play along to
the original "Paranoid Time" Version, but if you're not playing to that, it may
be OK if you do not tune higher.

* = Mute the string.
/ = Slide up.
() = Notes surrounded by round brackets are "ghost notes." They're hard to hear,
if they're even there. You may play them, or omit them.
