This one was a bastard. Transcribing the intro riffs were difficult, but
I think I got them down. Munky's pick scraping part is too hard to
transcribe exzactly because every guitar is different, and if I gave
location in inches or centimeters it would be different for everybody.
Lyrically, the chorus' first words may be wrong so I put what I thought
it would be. In the bridge "Hit me clown", he might be saying "Hate me
clown". At the end of the bridge and at the end of the song, he switches
between lyrics. Next up "Daddy"...
