E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Tabbed by:Shaka_SY

Tuning: CGDGCD


This is Thurston's part.
James part is similar save for the solo.

As always, listen to the record for the struming patern :


Part 1
D|-0-9p7p0-----------------------0-9p7p0-------------------------------9--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|
C|-0-0-0-0-7----7--7--7--7-7-7-7-0-0-0-0-7--7----------------------7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|

T during James' solo
D|E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||--|
C|E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||--|
G|E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||--|
D|-7-7-7-7-7-7-X-X-X-X-7-7-7-7-7-7-X-X-X-X-8-8-8-8-8-8-X-X-X-X-8-8-8-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-|

After the solo, play around these (live : James uses the whamy bar, Thurston goes into freak out mode)
E|-------3-----------3-----------3-----------3---|
B|-------2-----------2-----------2-----------2---|
G|-0-----0-----1-----0-----0-----0-----1-----0---|
D|-0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0---|
A|-0-----------0-----------0-----------0---------|
E|-----------------------------------------------|


Then back to Part 1 twice:
D|-0-9p7p0-----------------------0-9p7p0-------------------------------9--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|
C|-0-0-0-0-7----7--7--7--7-7-7-7-0-0-0-0-7--7----------------------7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
G|---------0----0--0--0--0-0-0-0---------0--0-9-7-0------------7-9-0-9-9--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|
D|---------0----0--0--0--0-0-0-0---------0--0-0-0-0--------7-9-0-0---0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
G|---------0----0--0--0--0-0-0-0---------0--0----------7-9-0-0------------------------------------|
C|E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||-----------------|


Play the end of it 4 times:
E|-----------------9--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|
B|-------------7-7-7--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|
G|---------7-9-0-9-9--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-|
D|-----7-9-0-0---0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
A|-7-9-0-0------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|


Hold the last chord for a while then tremolo pick these:
E|---------------7-|
B|-----------7-----|
G|-------7-----7---|
D|---7-----7-------|
A|-----7-----------|
E|-7---------------| x4

E|----------------------19-|
B|----------------19-------|
G|----------19-------19----|
D|----19-------19----------|
A|-------19----------------|
E|-19----------------------| x4

for these two parts above, let some open strings ring while struming furiously


Then go back to Part 2:
E|---------------------------------------------------------8--8--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|
B|---------------------------------------------------------8--8--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|
G|---------------------------------------------------------8--8--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|
D|---------------------------------------------------------8--8--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|
A|-7-7-7-10-3-3--7-7-7-10-3-3--7-7-7-10-3-3--7-7-7-10-3-3--8--8--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|
E|-7-7-7-10-3-3--7-7-7-10-3-3--7-7-7-10-3-3--7-7-7-10-3-3--8--8--8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-|

Then noise!

Meanwhile, James holds the 8th fret chord for a while and ends on 7th fret (I think)
So if you're not going to try to emulate Thurston, you can still do something like this :
E|-8-----------|
B|-8-----------|
G|-8-----------|
D|-8-----------|
A|-8-----7\\\\\|
E|-8-----7\\\\\|
