- here it is...it might be tuned differently, but i think i got it.
- the guys in my band get pissed cause i play it all the time now.
- also, there are some notes in the intro here that aren't on the album
- version, but are on STRAY SLACK and make it sound cooler i think.

- Play part A twice....then part B 2 and a half times for the intro before the
- distortion kicks in at "can you treat it like an oil well?"
-
- then these chords play...open or barre which ever you choose.

- C-----Em----G----Bm
-
- I think Malkmus must be tuned differently, or I just suck at transcribing,
- because I can't tell what the hell he plays during "It's what I want.." those
- two little chords. dammit
-
- the little solo goes something like this.

- It does that a couple of times, the they break loose into the solo/jam ending
- in a C chord
- 'like i said before, he might be in a different tuning, but this is the best
- i can do for now.
