Dropped D tuning
#========================================================================#
This one is surprisingly simple!
LEGEND
h=hammer on
p=pull-off
b=bend
hb=half-bend
tr=trill (play note repeatedly and very quickly)
X=plam mute
~ = hold chord for a while
E---------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------------------
A------5--5-4-3--------5----------------------------
D---0---------------0-----7-6-5---------------------
Riff 1A Riff 1B
Play these several times before the lyrics kick in. When
the singing starts, play the next figure, then riffs 1A-1B
at the appropriate times. Listen to the song for rhythm and
number of repetitions.

"come on in, the water's warm,

Back to Riffs 1A-1B.
At about the 3:40 mark in the song after Billy sings "I don't know"
it gets really muffled and hard to hear, but I think this is what's
going on...

A--------------------------0~~~ -------------------
D---5--4--3------9--8--7---0------------------------
Like I said, on the recording I have it gets very muddy here. I know
this is definitely part of what's going on, but certainly not all. After
you have held the open D for a while, it goes back to the Riff 1A-1B, with
some soloing too.
Then...around 6:14...
E---------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------------
G---------------5-----------------------------------
D---0---0---3---5---3---0---------------------------
A---0---0---3---3---3---0---------------------------
D---0---0---3-------3---0---------------------------
A few times, then once again its gets muddy although I think they are doing
just the root notes of this riff. Someone is palm-muting thei guitar (I think)
to get that chug-chug-chuggin sound. The riff enters again full-blast around 7:17.
Hit an open D chord around 7:36, then 1A-1B again.
Hit 1B again and again when Billy sings "Everyone everyone everyone..."
After that it just descends by one fret gradually until u hit another open D.
E-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I----------
B-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I----------
G-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I----------
D-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I--0-------
A-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I-----------I--0-------
D--7--6--5--I--6--5--4--I--5--4--3--I--4--3--2--I--3--2--1--I--0-------
Follow a similar pattern with Riff 1A, going down until you yet AGAIN have
to hit an open D.
After this the song picks up speed again, doing Riffs 1A-1B. You end on the final
note of Riff 1B.
That's basically it. Most of the dificult parts of the song involve goofing off and
moving those 2 main riffs slowly down the neck.
