repeat part 2 twice and then back to part 1 of the chorus - then repeat part 2
of the chorus 4 times. On the 4th time you don't do the last "5-2-5-2" part of
part 2, listen to the song you'll get it.

bridge - 2:07
this is probably near impossible to tab since the guitar isnt really playing much.
i have watched primus' dvd "animals should not try to act like people" and you can
catch glipses of this part in the "antipop" section with "laquerhead" the music
video, and "laquerhead live" from family values i think. good reference.
i can kind of figure out what larry (the guitarist) is doing. at first hes mutting
or doing a bar chord at the 3rd or 4th fret and just stratching his pick up and down
the fretboard on the strings. then when you hear that crazy stuff at about 2:37...hes
hammering on like crazy while muting the strings with his right hand on the fretboard.
i use wah with some low phaser and short delay when i play this and it sounds pretty
close. for the most part just play around.

you can hear it faintly in the background, let ring for about 4-5 seconds and redo.
maybe use some reverb or delay for some effect.

outro - 3:28-3-36

you repeat this seven times over and over then you can slide the bottom strings
that you hear about 3:36 and then ending note

ending note - 3:37
