Nice tab, but the chords for that riff after "you are the son on of a mother ****er" etc goes like this:- E---------------------| B---------------------| G------4444-----5555--| D--44444444-55555555--| A--44442222-55553333--| E--2222-----3333------|

Perfect! though personally, before the "joke is not upon me" part, I play it like this E---------------------------------------------------------| B---------------------------------------------------------| G--6-6h7-4-6--6-6h7-4-6-----------------------------------| D---------------------6-7-4-6--6-7-4-6--6-7-4-6--6-7-4-66-| A---------------------4-5-2-4--4-5-2-4--4-5-2-4--4-5-2-44-| E---------------------------------------------------------|
