  Well, I've sort of got something. I am a BASS player, 
and whipped this up once upon a time for the band. Not
very accurate, and it leaves out a lot a detail, but
it will help to clear my own guilty feelings by posting 
something!

Play this with single notes to get the idea. Good luck
with the cords. I suggest using "Power Cords", which
to me means lots of barring and use of the low strings.

The song is in f#Minor as far as I can tell.
Where I've simply put 'F#' followed by lots
of lyrics, the song goes more like (on bass)

F# F# F# F# F# F# F#->A   <--- One Line of lyrics
F# F# F# F# F# F# F#->E   <--- The next line of lyrics
                          <--- Repeat till Chorus.

The "->" is meant something like a pull off

------------------------------------

Someone please clean it up for the guy?
I don't know enough about guitar

INTRO: Individual notes ...

C# E F#
C# E B
C# E F# A E

"/" means slide up
"^" means bend up to note

	There are actually two guitars in this song.  I've
written this tab for just one.
	The song is in E.  Most of the little riffs in
this song are played in the 2nd and 14th positions using
a pentatonic scale.
	There's some noodling around during the choruses
and during verse 3 that I haven't gotten down yet.  In
verse 3, the two guitars are doing distinctly different
things.
	Additions and corrections welcome.
