This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Comments: This has to be the craziest fucking song ever. It took me over an hour and a half to tab Riff 4, all the while I would put it back and listen to it over and over until I got each part right. It's probably off a little, but if you can do better, you're welcome to try. I put all the parts together for you on the bottom because the song is just too crazy to put together unless you know how it goes by heart. If you spot any mistakes, feel free to e-mail me the corrections, otherwise I'll see what I can do. Enjoy.
