LAYOUT: A - B - C - A - B - C - A - B - C - A - B - C - D


A SECTION				00:00-00:06

Jim doesn't play during the harmonic breaks on the record, but during live versions he would just
make distorted pick scrape noise.

B SECTION				00:06-00:34

G-----------------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------
A--------------9--9-9-9-9-10-10-10-10-12-7--7-7-7-7---

G---------------------------------------------------------------

A----------------------5--5-5-5-5--1--1-1-1-1-1-----------------
E---3--3--3-3-3-1--1-1--------------------------1-1-1-1-1-1-1---

He "rocks" it up a bit with quick hammer-ons and general bass tricks, but for the most part just
sticks to the root.

A SECTION				00:48-00:51

B SECTION				00:51-01:20

C SECTION				01:20-01:34

A SECTION				01:34-01:37

C SECTION				02:05-02:19

A SECTION				02:19-02:23

B SECTION				02:23-02:51

C SECTION				02:51-04:08

D SECTION				04:08-04:51

Jim probably makes distorted noise til the end.


During live versions, they would just stick to the G chord (first chord of the chorus) for
a bar or two and stop cold, rather than doing the total meltdown.
