LAYOUT

A - B - A - B - C - D - E  


A SECTION				00:00-00:28


Kim plays the same riff for the entire vocal section (A & B):

G-------------------------------------------------------------
D-----------------9--9-9--9-9-9-7--7-7--7-7-7-7--7-7--7-7-7--- x 9
A---7--7-7--7-7-7---------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------------------------------


B SECTION				00:29-00:43

A SECTION				00:43-00:58

B SECTION				00:58-01:12

C SECTION				01:12-01:43


Kim goes back and forth between 12th and 9th fret harmonics, but also lets the open D ring out
sometimes...her attack is very percussive:

G-------------------
D-------------------  she doesn't always hit every harmonic together, and some strings can be muted
A-------------*9*---
E---*12*------*9*--- x 8 (then 4 more times to start the D section)


D SECTION				01:44-02:12


Kim plays her C section riff 4 times after Thurston changes, then she switches around 2 minutes in 
to an open D but may also be playing the high G# she sticks to on live versions:

G---------
D---0-----
A---------
E--(16)---


E SECTION				02:12-03:15


Kim holds this note, playing in rhythm w/ Steve, but does sometimes let the open D ring thru:

G--------
D---(0)--
A--------
E---16---
