Tuning: Standard
The guitar on this song has every string tuned to D.
It's also played with a slide.
Intro: run slide up strings (w/out picking)...
then:
D--0--0--0--3-5--0--0----------------------------|
D--0--0--0--3-5--0--0----------------------------|
D--0--0--0--3-5--0--0---(PUT SLIDE OVER PICKUPS--|
D--0--0--0--3-5--0--0------AND STRUM STRINGS)----|
D--0--0--0--3-5--0--0----------------------------|
D--0--0--0--3-5--0--0----------------------------|
For the verses, run the slide up the fretboard a bit..
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/butthole_surfers/something_tab.html ]
The "solo" goes something like this (you decide whether
you want to use the slide or not):
D--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9\/12-12-12-12-12\-0-|
D--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9\/12-12-12-12-12\-0-|
D--9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9\/12-12-12-12-12\-0-| w/ ad lib harmonics
D-----------------------------------0-| + open strings
D-------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------|
After solo, go back to running the slide up the fretboard.
Pretty much the rest of the song varies between the above
themes..
END:
