the guitar on this song sounds like its tuned a bit sharp,
sometimes the chords in the verse sound like F…
Intro riff: (w/ wah-wah)
E–7b————–X-X-X-X–|
B——9~~—9—–X-X-X-X–|
G————–7—X-X-X-X–|
D—————————|
A—————————|
E—————————|
Then, the wah-wah guitar plays this chord:
E—–
B—–
G–9–
D–9–
A–7–
E—–
And the 2nd guitar plays a lower E:
E—–
B—–
G—–
D–2–
A–2–
E–0–
Sustain those chords throughout the verses, then go back into the intro riff.
After the 2nd verse, play:
E———————————————————–|
B———————————————————–|
G–6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5–|
D–6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5–|

E———————————————————–|
back to E for third verse.
then just play C# (w/out the change to C). this is followed
by a bass break where the guitars just spew forth noise…
then repeat the C# – C riff
for the 2nd bass break, the right speaker guitar plays:
E———————-|
B–11b-10-11b-10-11~~–| w/ mucho noize from other guitars…
G———————-|
D———————-|
A———————-|
E———————-|
then another verse…
At 3:31, there’s this riff, which is the same sorta rhythm as the other
one, it stays on the first chord for a long time, then switches briefly:
E—————————————————————–|
B—————————————————————–|
G-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-13-13-13-13–|
D-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-13-13-13-13–|
A–8–8–8–8–8–8–8–8–8–8–8–8–8–8–8–8–8-11-11-11-11–|
E—————————————————————–|
Then, another wah-wah riff:
E—————|
B–11b-11-9~~~–|

then all guitars preach the monkey lord’s gospel of white noise.
