Here's another Jesus Lizard song, this one is even easier than Slaveship

and just as much fun to play.

Start with the chord progresion as shown:

B, A, G, E

Next comes the following: (sort of like the chords but only playing the

fifth and adding "b"

e-----------------------------|
B-----------------------------|
G----4----4----4-----4--------|
D---4----2--------------------|
A-2----0-----5-----2----------|
E------------3-----0----------|

Then comes:

That's the whole song, as usual Duane using the simplest things and making

them sound really cool.
