Oingo Boingo - On The Outside guitar tab

ON THE OUTSIDE (FAREWELL VERSION)
Written by Danny Elfman and performed by Oingo Boingo
Transcribed by Cameron Miller

The main rift belongs to Clay Marvin, but the rest is mine (check out Clay's tab at www.boingo.org). Most of the time there is one guitar part, but occasionally it splits into two.
Intro (main) rift:
E------------------------------------------------------
B-----------------6---6------------------------------
G---5---5---5-----5---5--------------5---------------
D---------------------------------------7----5-------
A-----------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------6-----8--------------------
That part plays once, then rhythm comes in:
E-------------------------------------------
B-------------------------------------------
G------------6-----6----------------------
D------------------------------6----4------
A-------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------
Yes it will require some timing.

Verse (palm muted):
