    I just figured out this tab one afternoon when I had assignments to do. If you
     want the guitar tab for this song, some other Australians have provided a
     marvellous interpretation of master Spruance's art, but I think their's is
     tuned down to a flat of my tab (incorrectly).
    
    Here is SLOWLY GROWING DEAF

    When this bit gets repeated, include octaves in the gaps until the 7's on A
    (I'm guessing this is how it sounds heaver.)

    A-0---0-0-0---|----------|2---|---|----|
    E-------------|2---2-2---|----|---|1---| (Um, I think that last note was a 1)
    
    This one was exhausting but worthwhile, unlike the turd at the end of the song.
    Oh, and tell me where to get more MrBungle songs (ie demo tapes)!

     of society.
