Lyrics

I ain't nothing to the notice

800 miles of Prime

'Cause we be plain Jack belt loaded - High

I pause, I holler

Still powder line

Selling bulge egg tourniquet - High

The more you know, the brain

The more it homicide

Belt strip telephone - High

Well give me forty six

Give me forty five

Can't place down dance stone - High

h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
~ = let ring


This song was recorded with all guitars tuned down to D...
I.E - From standard tuning, every string must be tuned 
down a whole step (like they were 2 frets lower). 

First Dale starts ith the drumbs...he solos it for a 
whole 16 seconds.

[INSERT CURRENT BASSIST] and Buzz then join.

*some slight variation is made here:

Riff A uses small slides from the 9th fret on the "F" 
string and Riff B uses some hammer-ons & pull-offs - 
these are played during the last notes for that set 
(fancy-schmancee, eh?)

Then the abrupt change from the slow groove to thick bass riff 
played throughout the end of the song.

That's it.  I'm pretty sure that's right.  I'll be trying to 
figure out the minimal amount of guitar next. --Kyle
