Key:

h - hammer-on

p - pull-off

b - bend string up

() - Grace note

The whole intro is played very lively and loose. Just play along and you will see what

I'm talking about. It's just funny to listen to.

Jack plays this, on acoustic guitar, standard tuning:

Jack? Yea? Do you think some people, do you think theres some...

<Guitar Stops>

Kyle: Living among us...

Jack: No

Kyle: That we can't tell

Jack: No, we don't have the technology yet, but... <Guitar Continues>

Kyle on acoustic (or at least I think so, it may be Jack), lightly palm muted:

A--7(7)-7-5----------------------------------------------
E----------7--5h7-5-3-0---0-3-----------0-(0)--13-12-----

Jack: Rage, Rage... Rage

Kyle: Yea?

Jack: You know what I was thinking? Stop playing

<Guitar Stops>

Jack: I was thinkin of a fucking brilliant song

Kyle: Yeah?

Jack: Check it out, Just do what I do

Kyle: Okay

Jack: Just play this note

Now comes the main part of the song, it's basically both of them playing this. Kyle plays

everything an 8th late. Since he plays it that way, and They play the note every quarter,

it's continuous. The speed ascends as they play:

<Guitar Stops>

This is where the guitar ends. The rest is the lyrics from the beginning.

Kyle: Jack

Jack: Yeah?

Kyle: Do you think some people-Do you think there's some people that aren't really...

that're actually robots? Living among us?

Jack: No

Kyle: That we can't tell?

Jack: No, we don't have the technology yet, but Rage, Rage,.. Rage

Kyle: Yeah?

Jack: Stop playing... I was thinkin of a fucking brilliant song

Kyle: Yeah?

Jack: Check it out, just do what I do

Kyle: Okay

Jack: Just play this note

Jack: And then we both keep-Just keep both playing that note... Every once in a while

bend it... And that's it, just remember who wrote that song, me baby me! See, it's fuckin

simple, that's one song in the bank... Next song, Next song! NEXT!

Kyle: But that's one note, anybody could have done that... Anybody could have wrote it

Jack: Yeah but guess who did write it? ME!

Kyle: Yeah but did you write this? (Bends note)

Jack: Dude I did! I told you to do the bending everyone once in a while!

Kyle: Oh shit you did

Jack: I did! I win! I win! One to nothing!
