HH|----------------------------------|| SD|---------X---X-----------X---X----|| BD|---X-------------X-X-----------X--|| Right above is the part of the song where there's Indians chanting or something. After you play that forever, Both instruments play the (intro) which is also the build up to the solo. For the solo (Drums) can just fuck around with the verse. For guitar, play something like this: E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------FB--------| G|----------------------------------------------12-11-12-11-12-11--12--12-11-| D|-------6--6---/10------6--6---/10-9------9---------------------------------| A|---/8---------------8------------------7-----------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| G|--12-11----------11-12-11-------------------------------------------/X\----| D|--------14-13-14----------14-13-14--------7-------------------------/X\----| A|--------------------------------------7-8---8-7-5-7-5-3-5-3-2-3-2---/X\----| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------H------------------------H---------------------------------| G|-----------11-11-12-11--------------14-11-12-11----------------------------| D|-----------------------14-----------------------14------------------7------| A|------7-------------------------5-------------------------7-----7-8---8-7--| E|--/7------------------------/5------------------------/7-------------------| E|---------------------|| That's really all you need to know in order to play B|---------------------|| this song.(For Drums and Guitar anyways) There is an G|---------------------|| outro of course, and again for drums it's basicaly D|---------------------|| just that damned verse riff changed around slightly. A|--5-7-5-3-5-3-2-3-2--|| And for guitar you keep playing an E chord and letting E|---------------------|| it ring. Well that was the first time I ever tried to tab two instruments at once, and I don't know if that was too confusing for you. If it was I'm sorry. And if you had any problems at all with this method or if you know how I could correct myself in the future, please e-mail me at: shorn@golden.net
