 chords (from low E MajorE to high E MajorE)
   A augmentedA   - x02220
   Asus2Asus2 - x02420
   BB   - x24442
   E MajorE   - 022100
   F#F#  - 244322

 The song starts with a chunky (palm-muted) F#.

 The verse chord progression is F#F# - Asus2Asus2 - B, with
 a slight variation on the F#...

   --2--2--2--2--2---0--0---2--2----
   --2--2--2--2--2---2--2---4--4----
   --3--3--3--3--3---4--4---4--4----
   --4--4--4--2--4---2--2---4--4----
   --4--4--4--2--4---0--0---2--2----
   --2--2--2--2--2------------------

 The chorus is A augmentedA - E MajorE - F#. Only variation is an A augmentedA - BB
 progression after the 'i just ate my young' vocal.

 There are several Chuck Berry-style blues scale slurs
 in F#F# during some of the verses that go something like
 this:
    -------------2-2-----
    ---4-(5)-4---2-2-----
    ---4-(5)-4-----------
    ---------------------
    ---------------------
    ---------------------

 ..and theres an octave riff at the end similar to this, if
 I remember correctly:

    ----------------------------------
    ----------------------------------
    --11-11-11-11--14--14--16--16-----
    ----------------------------------
    ---9--9--9--9--12--12--14--14-----
    ----------------------------------
