--------------------

Ok all you puss-sucking muthafuckers out there...

This is for all you other bungleheads who want to know how to play the best

music this side of Neptune. This song is always a pleasant way to empty my

bowels, I hope they clean yours out too.

Here is BACKSTROKIN'

(Synth sounds at start)

    G-----------------|------------|--------------|------------|
    D-----------------|--------1---|----------1---|--------2---|
    A-------------4---|----2-------|----2---2-----|4---2-4---4-|
    E-2---2-5---5-----|4-----------|4-------------|------------|

(Play 2 times)

    G-----------|
    D-----6-5---|
    A-----------|
    E---2-----2-|

(Repeat both)

(On repeat, play the little bit 3 times, then play 1st riff once)

    G-----------------|------------|--------------|----|
    D-----------------|--------1---|----------1---|----|
    A-------------4---|----2-------|----2---2-----|4---|
    E-2---2-5---5-----|4-----------|4-------------|----|

(This bit sounds more like a synth bass or something, but it's still bass...)

    G---------------|------------|--------------|------------|
    D---------------|------------|--------------|------------|
    A---5---5-------|5---5-------|5---5---5-----|5---5-------|
    E---------5---5-|------5---5-|------5---5---|------5---5-|

    A-7---7---7---7-----|6---6---6---6-----|5---5---5---5-----|6---6---6---6---|
    E-----------7---7---|----------6---6---|----------5---5---|----------6---6-|
    G-----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|--

    A-----------------|2---2---2---2---|----------------|----------------|--
    E-2---2---2---2---|----------------|0---0---0---0---|0---0---0---0---|1-

(only play this the first time around)

    G-------------|----------|----------------|----------------|--
    D-------------|------4---|----------------|----------------|--
    A-----------3-|2---2-----|----------------|----------------|--
    E-2---2-2-----|----------|0---0---0---0---|0---0---0---0---|1-

(only play this the second time around)

    G-------------|--
    D-------------|--
    A---X-4-5-4---|--
    E-------------|1-

(Play this bit 4 times)

(then repeat back to start of synth bass)

(ends with more crappy synth sounds)

Obviously this was a simple one but hopefully I'll be able to work out some

more difficult ones later.

Transcribed by yet another blunder from Down Under emerging from the wormwood

of society.
