Play intro, part a, part b, part a, verse, part b, part a, verse (no words),
then two noisy parts (below) then part a again to wrap it up.
noisy part 1
i don't have a clue how this goes but it sort of sounds like this:
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------|
|-----6-----------4-2-----6-----------4-2-|
|-----------7-------------------7---------|
|-0-3---0-3---0-3-----0-3---0-3---0-3-----|
noisy part 2
again no clue but it might be this chord shape slid up the neck slowly
|-------|
|-------|
|---6---|
|-------|
|---5---|
|-------|
in both of these parts i can't even hear a distinct bass part, but maybe my
stereo just suks.
that's it. mail me if you figure out any of the other parts, or if i'm wrong
about any of these parts.
Live MKUltra
When I saw them play this song live (Jan. 1998) they played it in drop-D tuning:
for guitar, D A D G B E; for bass, D A D G.
example:
