Here's an ear-catching Sonic Youth song (off of Sister) that can be played
with normal tunage.  The basic chord structure (and the intro) is:

  
  E5                            D#5                          A5

E5  D#5    A5
Bur-ning ....

 (Riff)
I cross myself, ...

            E5  D#5     A5
Because I am not ...

 (Riff)
Digging ...

E5       D#5    A5
Learning ...

 (Riff played twice)
We cross it out ...


(after this part, the sonic noise steps in for awhile then it goes back to
the intro again)


E5  D#5    A5
Bur-ning ...

   (Riff)
We cross it ...


The song gets sonically noisy again with the high E-string riff playing
repeatedy.  And that is it!
