Tabbed 100% By Chris Albert  chrisa15@hotmail.com

i'm just gonna tab the basics...
if anyone can help me with the part that plays during
"aint it funny how the factory doors close..."  i would appreciate it

the intro is played in a scratchy, highly distorted tone

NOTE:
the real scratchy raking kind of sound comes from scraping the pick sideways 
across the string...or if it doesn't, then doing that makes it sound similar 
to the song at least...what i mean is: hold the pick almost perpendicular to 
the string and pull it across kind of like
violinist uses a bow...i dont know how to describe it really..it helps if 
the pick is scratched on the edges..maybe one of those textured picks would 
do the trick, i haven't tried it


INTRO: play each part twice
*r=let note ring
e-18-------18-------18r|--19------19-------19r|
B----16-16----16-16----|----16-16----16-16----|
G----------------------|----------------------|
D----------------------|----------------------|
A----------------------|----------------------|
E----------------------|----------------------|

e-21-------21-------21r|--18-------18------18r|
B----16-16----16-16----|-----16-16----16-16---|
G----------------------|----------------------|
D----------------------|----------------------|
A----------------------|----------------------|
E----------------------|----------------------|

VERSE: using a slide and delay

e--21r_________----19r___________-----         foreground


e-----\\\12-------\\\\12-----         background
             (delay............(delay.........))
                      (delay............(delay......))

the little verse bass run goes something like:
-----3--5-5-----

chorus:
repeat as needed
e-------------------------------|
B----12r_____________________---|
G----12r_____________________---|
D-------------------------------|
A-------------------------------|
E-------------------------------|
       This is the new sound,
      just like the old sound...

repeat intro over chorus lyrics twice

then

"over the, over the burning ground..."
goes off into some thing i dont really want to attempt when i'm this 
tired...lots of rakes and some use of the wah wah pedal, some bends, and 
then...

*might not be exact*
same rhythym & pattern as intro
e--------------------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------------------
G--5-----5-----5--6-----6-----6--8-----8-----8--5-----5-----5--------
D--5-3-3-5-3-3-5--6-3-3-6-3-3-6--8-3-3-8-3-3-8--5-3-3-5-3-3-5--------
A--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--4-3-3-4-3-3-4--6-3-3-6-3-3-6--3-3-3-3-3-3-3--------
E----1-1---1-1------1-1---1-1------1-1---1-1------1-1---1-1----------

then  some up and downslides using the metal slide...sounds like a slide 
whistle, actually...
