this is the only one I have done so far, cuz I just got
a TAB program today....enjoy!

*** = this nice, all purpose chord can put some funk in any song
I don't think Billy actually uses it...but it would sound
even better if he did.

COMMENT:This song was not at OLGA. I got tired of asking people for it
so i thought i would give it a shot. So here is my version of it.
I hope you use it and enjoy it. I would REALLY appreciate some
comments on the tabs i've written<Girl Named Sandoz, Hello Kitty Kat>
and this one, seeing as i've gotten a grand total of 2 messages.
I did this one in just under 1 hour so be gentle:)


[Lots of distortion OR fire up the old Big Muff]

This is [MAIN RIFF A]: Play 4x's solo, then drums come in.
||---------------x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---|
||---------------x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---|
||---7--------7--x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---|
||---------------x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---|
||---5--------5--x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---|
||------0--0-----x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x---|
[VERY light palm mute]

Play [MAIN RIFF A] 8x's under the band.
On the fourth time with the band [GUITAR 2] plays this:
||-----|
||-15~-|
||-----|
||-----|
||-----|
||-----|

Then comes a drum fill and BOOM:
[GUITAR 1] and [GUITAR 2] play [MAIN RIFF A] 12x's in unison.
on 5th and 9th time, play this fill:
||-----------------------------------|
||-----------------------------------|
||11/12-12\11-11/14--14/16--17~~-----|
||-----------------------------------|
||-9/10-10\-9--9/12--12/14--15~~-----|
||-----------------------------------|

Play this 4x's directly after
the [MAIN RIFF] above:
/----------------------------\
[MAIN RIFF B]:
||----------------x-x-x-x-x-x------------------------------------------|
||----------------x-x-x-x-x-x------------------------------------------|
||--7---7-7--7-7--x-x-x-x-x-x--to-end----7-----------------------------|
||----------------x-x-x-x-x-x-----------------5------------------------|
||--5---5-5--5-5--x-x-x-x-x-x------------5----5-(sustain)--into singing|
||----------------x-x-x-x-x-x-----------------5------------------------|
^ ^ [light palm mute]
^ - emphasize these strokes

Drums and base under singing:

I hear your winter
I hear you rain
I've failed your summer ways
And I feel no pain

This gets play under the following:
||----------------|
||----------------|
||--7--7----------|
||--7--7----5-----|
||--5--5----5-----|
||----------5-----|
I hear what you are
And I feel no pain
I hear what you are
And I feel no pain


Then another drum fill into: This part is tuff
[MAIN RIFF] 15x's <i think>, throughout this whole part.
Like before, these fills are placed according to the how many times the
[MAIN RIFF] has been played.

On the 5th time play this riff 3 time:
||---------------------------|
||---------------------------|
||11/12-12\11-11/14--14~~----|
||---------------------------|
||-9/10-10\-9--9/12--12~~----|
||---------------------------|

then:

||-----------------------------------|
||-----------------------------------|
||11/12-12\11-11/14--14/16--17~~-----|
||-----------------------------------|
||-9/10-10\-9--9/12--12/14--15~~-----|
||-----------------------------------|

then starts some crazy stuff..somthing like
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
||-18~~---18---18-18---18-18--18-18-18-18--19----19-19---19-19--19-19-19-19|
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
||-16~~---16---16-16---16-16--16-16-16-16--17----17-17---17-17--17-17-17-17|
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
||-21----21-21---21-21--21-21-21-21-21-21-21-21-21-21----------------------|
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
||-19----19-19---19-19--19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19-19--into-some-other-stuff
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

THEN starts some soloing that i'm too lazy to figure out right now.
Keep in mind that all this is being played under the [MAIN RIFF A] thats
being played 15 times. Just listen to the CD and fake it :)



[just base here]: quiet singing, a few pick scrape with some effects
I hear you fade away
And I hear you crawl
I gave my life away
And I feel no pain
And I feel no pain
And I feel no pain
And I feel your pain

And she was my lover so sweet
And she was my angel
And what I've recovered of me
I put into a box underneath my bed

When you lie in your bed
And you lie to your self
When you lie in your bed
And you lie to your self

Bang bang you're dead hole in your head
Bang bang you're dead hole in your head
Bang bang you're dead hole in your head
Bang bang you're dead hole in your head



||----------------|
||----------------|
||--7--7----------|
||--7--7----5-----|
||--5--5----5-----|
||----------5-----|
I hear what you are
And I feel no pain
I hear what you are
And I feel no pain


Then, to finish:
This 2x's:
||-------------------------------------------------------------------
||-------------------------------------------------------------------
||-11--11--1111--111111111111--12---12---12-12---12-12-12-12-12-12---
||-------------------------------------------------------------------
||--9---9---9-9---9-9-9-9-9-9--10---10---10-10---10-10-10-10-10-10---
||-------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------|
-14---14---14-14--14-14-14-14-14-14----|
---------------------------------------|
-12---12---12-12--12-12-12-12-12-12----|
---------------------------------------|


Then this: The drums match the strums here
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
||-7---7---7--------7---7---7--------------------7-7--7---7----7------7----|
||-7---7---7--------7---7---7-<a few times then>-7-7--7---7----7------7----|
||-5---5---5--------5---5---5--------------------5-5--5---5----5------5----|
||-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Keeps slowing down into
BIG time feedback.

Thats its.
