          harmonics*       harm.           harm.           harm.



* These harmonics are produced by lightly applying your index

finger to the low E and gradually sliding from around fret 1.75

to 5 or so.  A good way of looking at this is letting your finger

touch the E while setting back up for the C octave chord.

Note: G1 may keep playing the first half of this riff (slides down)

over G2 playing the part that slides up.  I really can't tell but 

I'm sure there's a slide to the A during "For when we're really 

gonna need `em" and "...fly."



Put in Es (|022100| or |079900|) in the part that goes:



"Emptiness is lonliness and\Lonliness is cleanliness and\

 Cleanliness is godliness and\God is empty just like me."

Those high sceams (like the end of the above) are the high E on the 24th

fret (it's james on his V or flood in the production room).



then repeat *1 and that's Zero!
