Most of the song is one of the two main riffs repeated above, with the melodic riff being included twice.
When transitioning between these two rhythmic riffs at the end of verses, Stu strikes the higher open strings
just once, something like this:
e|-0------------|
B|-0------------|
G|-0------------| And just let it ring
D|-0------------|
A|--------------|
E|--------------|

[Outro/Last bit or whatever]
At the end, there is spacey noise type goodness for a couple bars, and then the main riff is played
A WHOLE STEP LOWER by the band while the guitarist solos in the new key, D
Don't forget to drench your guitar in fuzz, don't sweat it if you can get the signature Gizzard delay effect
going just yet cuz I still can't quite figure out their method either.
