Okay, here's my attempt -- thanks to gloakley@gibbs.oit.unc.edu for sending me his try at the tab, which I borrowed the lyrics and the break part from.

Beginning bass riff: (bass may or may not tuned down, it's tabbed here without tuning down)

----------------------------- ----------------------------- --3h5-5-5-5\------------3-3-- etc. ------------x-1-3-x-5-5------

Guitar in:

----- ----- --2-- --0-- hold until next part --0-- --0--

riff 1 harmonics --------(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)--- --3--3--(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)--- --2--2--(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)--- repeat 8 times --0--0--(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)--- until "real...." --0--0--(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)--- --------------------------------------

Lead part: play after playing riff 1 four times --

??

Then stop & play:

Real..heh...heh eal love (riff 1) ----------------------------- ----7-----5----4-b5b4---2\--- ----------------------------- play that & ----------------------------- the riff 1 thing twice ----------------------------- -----------------------------

Filler 1 She blah blah blah (hold until snare hit) -------------------------------------------- -----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0------- -----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0------- -----0---0----0---0----0---0----0---0----0-- -----------------------------------------0-- ---7---6----7---6----7---6----7---6------0--

Riff 2 -- lots of palm muting

------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- --3h5-5-5-5-5-x\--------------3-3---etc..-- ----------------3-x-5-x-5-7-7--------------

Play four times into "I love my sister so...." and through "would you bury me?"

slow bend -- snare shot --------- --9b10--- --------- --------- --------- ---------

Chorus 1 Once you see her... ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------ ---5/7-7-7-7\x--------------5-5----------------- repeat 3x ---5/7-7-7-7\x--3-x-5-x-7-x-5-5----------------- ---3/5-5-5-5\x--3-x-5-x-7-x-3-3--etc...--------- ----------------3-x-5-x-7-x---------------------

...some things you just can't hide ------------------ ------------------ ----------5------- go back to chorus 1... you get the idea ---7--7-7-5---5--- ---7--7-7-3---5--- ---7--7-7-----5---

Then the break... the second guitar (james) plays a D chord in different intervals while Billy goes nuts. Then, once Billy goes into his solo, they play the Chorus 1 part 4x, and then they play Filler 1 to finish out the solo, and then they go back into the normal Chorus structure. Simple! ;)

D D D D --------------------------------------------------- into the ----9b10--------7-7-x-x-7-7-x-x-7-7-x-8p7-8p7/10--- impossible solo, ----------11----7-7-x-x-7-7-x-x-7-7-x-7---7-------- even in the --------------------------------------------------- demo version I --------------------------------------------------- have, it's --------------------------------------------------- impossible.

Solo (not included)

Once you see her... (Chorus thing 2x)

...just can't hide ------------------------------------------ --------------3-----------------------2--- guitar fades out & it's --------------2-----5-----4-----3-----2--- just Jimmy on the skins --------------0-----5-----4-----3-----2--- for four bars --------------0-----3-----2-----1-----0--- --------------0---------------------------

Outro riff 1:

------------------------- ------------------------- repeat 4x alone, then band comes in ----------0-------------- -------13-----13----13--- -----13-----------13----- ---13--------------------

I have no idea what those chords are, but try:

---0----0--- ---0----0--- ---0----0--- for the rest of the song ---13---15-- ---13---15-- ---13---15--

then play:

-------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- play this 3 1/2 times -------11p9-x------------------------------- and then go into the -------------------------------------------- lead outro.. ---9-xx-------11-11-11-11b12b11--9-etc...--- --------------------------------------------

lead outro:

she will...

------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------- repeat 12x under -15p14----14-17p14-14-15-15-15-15-15-15p14----14--etc.- "she will bury me -------15----------------------------------15---------- she will bury me" ------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
