the guitar on this song sounds like its tuned a bit sharp,
sometimes the chords in the verse sound like F…
Intro riff: (w/ wah-wah)
E—7b—————X-X-X-X—|
B——9~~—9——X-X-X-X—|
G—————7—X-X-X-X—|
D—————————|
A—————————|
E—————————|
Then, the wah-wah guitar plays this chord:
E——
B——
G—9—
D—9—
A—7—
E——
And the 2nd guitar plays a lower E:
E——
B——
G——
D—2—
A—2—
E—0—
Sustain those chords throughout the verses, then go back into the intro riff.
After the 2nd verse, play:
E————————————————————|
B————————————————————|
G—6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5—|

E————————————————————|
back to E for third verse.
then just play C# (w/out the change to C). this is followed
by a bass break where the guitars just spew forth noise…
then repeat the C# — C riff
for the 2nd bass break, the right speaker guitar plays:
E———————-|
B—11b-10-11b-10-11~~—| w/ mucho noize from other guitars…
G———————-|
D———————-|
A———————-|
E———————-|
then another verse…
At 3:31, there’s this riff, which is the same sorta rhythm as the other
one, it stays on the first chord for a long time, then switches briefly:
E——————————————————————|
B——————————————————————|
G-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-13-13-13-13—|
D-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-13-13-13-13—|
A—8—8—8—8—8—8—8—8—8—8—8—8—8—8—8—8—8-11-11-11-11—|

Then, another wah-wah riff:
