OK, the verse is almost entirely on E MajorE but it's mostly
a drums and bass thing except for Brian's teensy little fills.
Anyway, the main riff goes something like this with the rhythm
strumming an E MajorE the whole time:
E MajorE :----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
BB :----------------|----------------|----------------|-5-4-2----------|
G+G :----------------|----------------|----------------|-------4-2h4-2--|
D MajorD :2---------------|--2-------------|2---------------|---------------2|
A augmentedA :--2--0---0--2---|2---2--0--------|--2--0----0--2-2|----------------|
E MajorE :-------4--------|---------4-0----|--------4-------|----------------|
Brian varies the little verse fills in every verse but to get started
use..
Natural harmonics...... and a gradual bend
E MajorE :-*12*----------------|------------------|
BB :-*12*----------------|------------------|
G+G :---------------------|-9b---------------|

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
bass thing and
a bit of
E MajorE strumming
At the end as things get a little more psychotic just keep
pounding out E5, A5, D5D5 over and over until the cool wah/noise
ending.
You shouldn't have many problems figuring out the few couple of notes
that make up the verses, I just can't be stuffed writting it all down :)
Anyway, any comments or corrections or whatever would be cool.
