Hey everyone.  Big OLP fan here.  While OLP playes like everything
tuned down 1/2 step, i am way too lazy, let alone not nearly skilled enough
to tune down properly.  Everytime i do it sounds pretty bad.  So this
tab is written in STANDARD tuning (EADGBe).

Now this song is syncopated, which means the notes are played on the
off-beats.  So you'll have to listen to the song to pick up the rhythem.
But it sounds great.



INTRO:  (this is played all through the song at different times)


e---------9-8-9h-8p-9h/6--------9-8-9h-8-9h/6--
B--9-9-9-----------------9-9-9-----------------
G----------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------


e---------9-8-9h-8p-9h/6-----------6----
B--9-9-9-----------------9-9-7-7----9---
G---------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------    2x
A---------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------

that weird thing on the 'e' string with the hammer pull off and slide
is a quick trill.  you will have to play with it, but listen to the song
and you will catch on quickly.

VERSE:

 F#                D#
She builds her own satellite
 C#               C#
From an old rusted chair . . .


This chord progression repeats until the intro comes in again.  Then
the chords are played along with the intro.

here are the chord forms:
   F#     D#     C#
e----------------------
B--11------8------6----
G--11------8------6----
D--9-------6------4----
A----------------------
E----------------------

This song basicaly uses that intro, and these chords.  This isn't
everything obviously, they jam out quite a bit, but i believe they stay
pretty close to that intro

h=hammer
p=pull  off
/=slide



Again, I wrote this in STANDARD tuning.  Enjoy!  Oh yeah, if you havn't
yet, if you have this album, leave this song on for like 20 minutes and
there is a hidden track. It's just that guy talking to a machine, but
it's kinda freaky weird.  But hey, i was bored.  Enjoy the tab, add to
it if you want!
