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

* see note

* NB: The bends in the intro and main riff are microtonal, so bend half-way

(ish) between frets 3 and 4.

VERSE

Basically open chords (AGCA) with the odd fill, fleshed out with some organ

stuff.

|-0--|---3--|---0--|--------|
|-2--|---0--|---1--|-2------|
|-2--|---0--|---0--|-2------|
|-2--|---0--|---2--|-2------|
|-0--|---2--|-0h3--|-0------|
|----|-0h3--|------|----3(b)|

A G C A

A fill that comes up occasionally on the last bar is...

-------------|
-2-h-3-p-2---|
-2~----------|
-2~----------|
-0~----------|
-------------|

... or variations on that.

Just before it flips out there is a little fill which is a reverse-rake

(from

the treble strings to the bass strings) on a harmonic on fret 3.8-ish (i.e.

just

behind 4th fret).

THE FLIP OUT

The crazy sustained note itself is:

-----------

-10~~~~~~~-

-----------

-----------

-----------

-----------

and occasionally (for dissonance value)

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

-10~~~~~~~~--

-13~~~~~~~~~-

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

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

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

Obviously, some sustain device (e-bow or pedal) or feedback is required to

make

this hold for long enough. There is also some more octave pedal stuff

happening.

SOLO

Some crazy octave pedal things here, but the main melody is...

(A.... G.... then...)

*2 : The first of a few nice little organ fills comes here. It can be played

with harmonics something like:

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

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

------------<12>---------------

------<12>-------<12>----------

---<12>---------------<12>-----

D C G A

*3: Another organ fill is (I think) a G7 chord, try sliding down from:

------

----\-

-10-\-
-12-\-
-10-\-

------

Then it's back to the main riff. There is some more A pentatonic

improvisation

over this bit with more octave pedal stuff.

Also, there is another organ fill after the G chords...

----9--

/10----

-------

-------

-------

-------

...but I think it sounds better an played octave down:

------

------

---5--

/7----

------

------

Outro with verse chords, then the main riff. Fade.

End!
