Tabbed 100% By Chris Albert chrisa15@hotmail.com

i'm just gonna tab the basics...
if anyone can help me with the part that plays during
"aint it funny how the factory doors close..." i would appreciate it

the intro is played in a scratchy, highly distorted tone

NOTE:
the real scratchy raking kind of sound comes from scraping the pick sideways
across the string...or if it doesn't, then doing that makes it sound similar
to the song at least...what i mean is: hold the pick almost perpendicular to
the string and pull it across kind of like
violinist uses a bow...i dont know how to describe it really..it helps if
the pick is scratched on the edges..maybe one of those textured picks would
do the trick, i haven't tried it

INTRO: play each part twice
*r=let note ring
e-18-------18-------18r|--19------19-------19r|
B----16-16----16-16----|----16-16----16-16----|
G----------------------|----------------------|
D----------------------|----------------------|
A----------------------|----------------------|
E----------------------|----------------------|

e-21-------21-------21r|--18-------18------18r|
B----16-16----16-16----|-----16-16----16-16---|
G----------------------|----------------------|
D----------------------|----------------------|
A----------------------|----------------------|
E----------------------|----------------------|

VERSE: using a slide and delay

e--21r_________----19r___________----- foreground

e-----\\\\\\\12-------\\\\\\\\\12----- background
(delay............(delay.........))
(delay............(delay......))

the little verse bass run goes something like:
-----3--5-5-----

chorus:
repeat as needed
e-------------------------------|
B----12r_____________________---|
G----12r_____________________---|
D-------------------------------|
A-------------------------------|
E-------------------------------|
This is the new sound,
just like the old sound...

repeat intro over chorus lyrics twice

then

"over the, over the burning ground..."
goes off into some thing i dont really want to attempt when i'm this
tired...lots of rakes and some use of the wah wah pedal, some bends, and
then...

*might not be exact*
same rhythym & pattern as intro
e--------------------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------------------
G--5-----5-----5--6-----6-----6--8-----8-----8--5-----5-----5--------
D--5-3-3-5-3-3-5--6-3-3-6-3-3-6--8-3-3-8-3-3-8--5-3-3-5-3-3-5--------
A--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--4-3-3-4-3-3-4--6-3-3-6-3-3-6--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--------
E----1-1---1-1------1-1---1-1------1-1---1-1------1-1---1-1----------

then some up and downslides using the metal slide...sounds like a slide
whistle, actually...
