  The difference between Rhy fig 1 & Rhy fig 1a is that in Rhy fig 1a
  in the 3rd A5 you also play the lower strings, or in other words you play
  an A (577655) instead of an A5 power chord.
 
 
 Intro.-
   In the intro you play Rhy fig 1 or 1a several times, (alternate between
   them, listen to the record so you can know when to play each one) about
   four, then continue playing it while a second guitar enters playing this:
 
                                       Fill A

	This is one of my favorites on the album.Needless to say it's the
one I am probably most wrong on. So FWIW hert goes...
 
	Cool biting,overdriven,make-you-break-out-in-a-cold-sweat guitar.

		Repeat during Verse.Every other time playing 1st A chords
		( the ones marked `*` ) like this:  0
						    2
						    2
					            2
                                      		    X
						    X
I use X to indicate the string not being played at all (not meaning dampened)
 
At the part " I'm very ape and very nice " the guitar is:
 
                	G            F
                 	3            1
                        3            1
                        4            2
                        5            3
                        5            3
                        3            1
Chorus
 
      Out of the Ground, Into the sky  , Out of the sky, into the dirt.
