Child's Play
(Tune down 2.5 steps to B)

Thanks to Royce, Daniel, and Jon...
After the bass intro, which follows the guitar part (or vice versa,
I suppose!):
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|---------------5--|-----9---9/109/8--|
|-2-2-2-2-2---2-4--|---5-5---5---5-5--|-5-5-5-5-5---5-3--|-----7---7/8-7/6--|
|-0-0-0-0-0---0-2--|---3-3---3---3-3--|-3-3-3-3-3---3----|---0--------------|

(This intro bit actually goes E G Ab C Db, rather than E F# G C, as is
shown here for the first three measures.)

|------------------|------------------|
|-------------3----|------------------|
|-----0-----0---0--|-----0------------|
|-------0----------|---4---2------5h7-|  Play this four times, but on the 2nd
|---2-----3--------|-5-----0---5h7----|  and 4th times, substitute the
|-0----------------|------------------|  hammerons with a slide back down...

... now repeat, then into the chorus, heavily vibratoed:                A.H.
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|---999/7-777/6----|
|---------7-5------|------5--------5--|---------7-5------|----------------5-|
|-----3-5-----9-7--|---757----7-757---|-----3-5-----9-7--|---777/5-555/4----|
|-3----------------|------------------|-3----------------|--------------3---|

Guitar 1 just does a slow gallop rythm on an open B, while guitar two plays
this:  (the gallop riff goes (6) open 2fr. 3fr. in rhythm, or something
like that)
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|------------------|------------------|------------------|
|------------------|-----------9-11---|------------------|------------------|
|-2----------------|-----------7-9----|------------------|------------(9)---|
|-0----------------|------------------|------------------|------------(7)---|
                                                              slide down neck

(and I think that should prob be G5, not F#5, if I recall right, but I
haven't listened to the song in ages).

After the lead... after the first two repetition, this is harmonised up
a fifth:
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
|------5------55h7p5-4--------5----------|
|-7-757-7--5-7---------5-7-757-7---------|
|----------------------------------------|

Jon offers the alternative suggestion for the chorus:
----------------------|--------------------------
----------------------|--------------------------
----------------------|--------------------------
--------5/7--5--------|-------5------------------
--2--2--5-------7/9-7-|-7-5-7----7-5---5---5-7---
--3-------------------|--------------7---7-------
