C SECTION			02:22-02:39

E SECTION			02:39-06:00

Kim holds down a G chord:

G----7----             ---12---
D----5----  or even:   ---12---
A---------             ---10---
E---------             --------

Around 4 minutes in she turns her wah on, then some distortion. After some ugly skronky G notes,
she goes back to some regular G notes. Then back to the wah/fuzz.

Around 5 minutes in she starts playing the open A string w/ wah. This continues until they drift
back into the A section.

A SECTION			06:00-06:15

B SECTION			06:15-06:30

C SECTION			06:30-07:33

As the noise section winds down, Thurston starts playing the main A section riff again.
Lee returns w/ his big open chords, and Kim/Steve lock into their rhythm.
But everything is a little bit sloppy, laid back, and there are dinosaur guitars still droning 
in the background...B and C are played lazy too, and the song ends with one last bass moo
and forty fuckin' seconds of feedback! They really squeezed this one dry...
