Lee's part -- left speaker

Tuning: F# F# F# F# E B  (not 100% confirmed, but very very close if not)

*7* = harmonic at 7th fret (etc)

begin w/ delay effects........

then start idly hitting the open low F# strings, maybe w/ subtle wah rockage...

right when it begins to feedback, when kim sings "can i have some money,
you know it's you that i adore", come in with:

B-------------------
E-------------------
F#---*7*------------ let sustain w/ wah modulation, til it feeds back...
F#------------------
F#------------------
F#------------------

chorus:

B------------------------------
E------------------------------
F#-----------------------------
F#----------------------------- X 2
F#--7~~~---6~~~---9b~~~--7~~~~-
F#-----------------------0-----

for the instrumental after the chorus, listen to the LP to hear
how many times to play each of these skronky chords:

B---------------------14----
E---13----14----13----13----
F#--12----12----12----12----
F#--11----12----11----11----
F#---0-----0-----0-----0----
F#---0-----0-----0-----0----

SECOND VERSE:

B-----------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------*12*--------*12*--
F#-----------*7*--------------------*12*-------- let ring...
F#----------------------------------------------
F#---0-------------------*12*-------------------
F#---0------------------------------------------

SECOND CHORUS SAME AS FIRST... EXCEPT LAST TIME, WHICH IS:

B----------------------------------
E----------------------------------
F#---------------------------------
F#---------------------------------
F#---7~~~----6~~~~-----0^2\3~~-0---
F#-------------------0-------------

then just keep strumming this chord:

B---14---
E---13---
F#--12---
F#--11---
F#---0---
F#---0---

"SHOOT" part:

B---------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------- he changes it around,
F#-------------------------------------19-19-19-19-19-19-- sometimes bending the
F#-------------------------------------19-19-19-19-19-19-- 16th fret/19th fret
F#---16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16--------------------- notes at once...
F#----0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0---------------------

drop off to open F# strings......

for THIRD VERSE play CHORUS riff, shake notes hard w/ trem bar...

for the OUTRO, just play quiet modulated feedback (technically fretted @ 4th fret).
