i play a seven string, but you only need a 6 string for the opening
riff,
i play it in standard tuning that is ebgdae

* palm mute
N.H. Natural Harmonic

OPENING RIFF/MAIN RIFF

okay that is the riff, I was shown this by the guitarist for runt, a
band that practices
with shroom and opens up for them alot in cleveland, so that is the
riff, the following
part i just kinda played by ear,

PLAY THE MAIN RIFF 3 or 4 TIMES, THEN BEFORE JEFF HATRIX
SCREAMS-AHHHHHH, AND THE DOUBLE BASS
KICKS IN YOU'LL HEAR A HARMONIC
N.H. for this part, just slide up from five

low e---5-4-3-2-1

When you've done this, then the double bass kicks in and j mann starts with
"set me free let me
be what i am why can't you see? etc..."
Then keep playing the main riff through the song, i'm not sure what the
chords are for one j man
goes "THIS LIFE'S A FIGHT FOR FULFILLMENT INSIDE..." but that is the
song, enjoy
