Monkey Trick Tab by The Jesus Lizard

Monkey Trick tab by The Jesus Lizard

Guitar Tab

From the videos I've seen of Duane playing this song,
it appears that he and David Wm. Simms play in 7th or
8th position.  This is what I could muster based on
that and GuitarPlaya's tab.  It's basically 4 parts
an interlude and a breakdown.
