*Ginn plays a pentatonic riff in G minor here and Dez Cadena keeps playing the rhythm riff from
the chorus; I usually improvise Ginn's part when I play -and he likely does too- it but I've
tabbed it pretty close to what it is on the CD. The last part with the pull-offs is also
and it is done a few times more than what I've written.
Pre-chorus (0:28)
Played three times:
e|-------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------|
G|-----------2-1-----------------|
D|--2--2-2-2-----2-1-0-----------|
A|---------------------4--4-4----|
E|-------------------------------|

The fourth time is a variation of the other three (played three times):
e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------|
G|-----------2-1--------2-1-------2-1-----------------|
D|--2--2-2-2-----2-1--------1-0-------0-4--4-4-4------|
A|----------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------|
The last four notes from the above section are not played on the third time and the song
goes directly into the chorus again. Then comes another verse with a differing lead riff:

Ginn starts with some of those bizarre sounds -his trademark- before going into the full
I've tabbed there. That's essentially the whole song other than the solo.

RE the Dez Cadena note: Dez hadn't played on a Black Flag record since five albums before this. By this point Ginn had long been the sole guitarist. Ginn may be using overdubs and playing multiple guitar tracks, but neither Cadena, nor any other guitarist other than Ginn, played on any Black Flag recordings after the first LP "Damaged" in 1981.
