  1+a2+a3+a4+a+a+1+a2+a3+a4+a+a+1+a2+a3+a4+a+a+1+a2+a3+a4+a+a+1+a2+a3+a4+a+a

|-0--0--0-/0-----0--0--0-/0-----0--0--0-/0-----0--0--0-/0-----0--0--0--0----|
|        First time play this very loose - improvise rhythm a little.       |

  1+a2+a3+a4+a+a1+a2+a3+a4+a+a1+a2+a3+a4+a+a1+a2+a3+a4+a+

|-1-----1--1--1--1----1--1b-2--5-/7---7--7-\0------------|

|-2--2--3--3--3--3b-2--1-----1--1--1--1----1--1--1b-2-/7----|
|-0--0--1--1--1--1b-0-------------------------------0--0----|

Then after you've played that 4 times, instead of playing the last
chord, go to the next section. This is where Dale starts pounding:
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-7---------7---------7---------7---------7---------7---------|
|-7----2----7----2----7----2----7----2----7----2----7----2----|
|-5----2----5----2----5----2----5----2----5----2----5----2----|
|------0---------0---------0---------0---------0---------0----|
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/m/melvins/roman_bird_doghung_bunny_tab.html ]
The last chord above is where Dale does the cymbal roll. After this chord is
held for a short time, Buzz starts playing the main riff/verse of Hung Bunny,
which is as follows. Play it 8 times first time, 4 times second time.
Mute the -0-0-0-0--------------------------------------------------| part during vocals:
