* I play all the chords as standard 2 note power chords in the 5th and 6th
  string, except for F5, which I play at the 13 position instead of the 1st.
  Keep the beat military! And if there are any chords other than 5ths in
  here, I can't hear 'em...
  PS.  I think the solo is in G Phyrigian, played on a Strat, neck pickup with
       just a bit of gain.
  PPS. Can anyone tell me what she sings just after the mushrooms? And is she
       really smoking Caterpillers? Why?
