The Most Exalted Potentate Of Love
Cool song off Stone Age Complications, originally by The Cramps.

/ - slide up

Lets do the lead guitar first.

B----------------------------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------
E-0-6-5-30-6-65-3-0-6-5-30-6-65-3--------------------------------

Sometimes during the song, those parts are played differently, but its not very noticable.
I think theyre mistakes, but I could be wrong. Just play around that.

Solo thingy

First Part (Tis the intro)
E----------------------------------------------------------------

The solo is played twice at the end. Theres a little downward slide at the end of the first repeat.

A-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--------------------------------

Tis something like that. Dont let the chords ring though.

Okay, now for the rhythm guitar.

Verses and such
E----------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G-2-------2-------2-------2--------------------------------------

E----------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------------------------
D-7-------7-------7-------7--------------------------------------
A-7-------7-------7-------7--------------------------------------
E-5-------5-------5-------5--------------------------------------

Around there. Im not too sure about the strumming pattern, but that sounds about right.

Then it follows the lead guitar up a string
E----------------------------------------------------------------
B-3---------------3----------------------------------------------
G-2---------------2----------------------------------------------
D-0---------------0----------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------

*OR*

E----------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G-7---------------7----------------------------------------------
D-7---------------7----------------------------------------------
A-5---------------5----------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------

Again, Im not too sure about the pattern, but that sounds pretty good to me.

Then back to A, then down to E
E----------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------

E-5-5-0-0-5-5-0-0-5-5-0-0-5-5-0-0--------------------------------

I changed my mind. I like the bottom one more.

A-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------

Tis something like that. Dont let the chords ring though. Same as the lead guitar, I suppose.

And thats the end! Yay!

This is my first tab-o, but it sounds 100% correct. Ive checked it several times.
The only thing Im not sure about is the post-solo thingy, but what I put sounds pretty good.
Have a most funalicious time!
