Tuning: Standard
 
The intro seems to be like that. Do a tremolo picking on the 12th fret of A. Do some
variations with picking the 13th fret. And listen to the song to understand what i'm saying.
 
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|----12tr-12tr-13-13-13-13-12tr---------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 
Here is the verse of the song. The rythmic here is made by Lee Ranaldo, and you can do
some crazy notes like Thurston Moore in hitting the high fret of your guitar.
 
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--7-7-7-7-8-8-8-8-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12----------------------------------|
A|--7-7-7-7-8-8-8-8-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12----------------------------------|
E|--5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10----------------------------------|
 
And then the chorus seems to be :
 
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--5-/-0--3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2---------------------------3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2---------|
D|--5-/-0------------------3-3-3-3-5-/-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-----------------3-3-3-3-|
A|--3-/-0--------------------------5-/-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-------------------------|
E|---------------------------------3-/-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-------------------------|
 
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-----------------------------------------|
D|-5-/-7-7-7-7-7-7-7----------------3-3-3-3-5-/-7-7-7-7-7-7-7----------------|
A|-5-/-7-7-7-7-7-7-7------------------------5-/-7-7-7-7-7-7-7----------------|
E|-3-/-5-5-5-5-5-5-5------------------------3-/-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------|
 
And then, at the end of the chorus :
 
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--5-3-5-3-5-3-5-3----5-3-5-3-5-3-5-3---------------------------------------|
A|--5-3-5-3-5-3-5-3----5-3-5-3-5-3-5-3---------------------------------------|
E|--3-1-3-1-3-1-3-1----3-1-3-1-3-1-3-1---------------------------------------|
 
And then, the verse again. Don't forget to listen to the rhythm. I didn't tab correctly
the rythme, so listen closely to Mote, and you'll be able to play this song.

The tab is correct except for the fact that the song is actually in GGDDFF tuning, otherwise though it's great.
