tuning   ( low to high )   CGCFAD
(all strings tuned down one whole step, except the 6th string is dropped two
whole steps)

"h" -- hammer-on     "b" --bend note to the left to a higher pitch    "r" --

                           Main riff:

                                                [  p.m.  ]
then this is the  " would you be my queen"  part:  ( it's difficult to  
hear what the guitars do at the end of this line.  I just hold the G5 
chord)

C)---0---2---2---2--/--7--
G)---0---2---2---2--/--7--
C)---0---2---2---2--/--7--

chorus is something like this:
C)---5-----8----10-b--r---8--10---8---5
G)---5-----8----10-b--r---8--10---8---5
C)---5-----8----10-b--r---8--10---8---5

then at the end of the chorus:  ( "as I turn to amputate")
C)---5----8----10-b--r---8---10-b--r---8---10-b--r---8
G)---5----8----10-b--r---8---10-b--r---8---10-b--r---8      etc.
C)---5----8----10-b--r---8---10-b--r---8---10-b--r---8

then play:
C)----8---10-b--r----8---10----8----5
G)----8---10-b--r----8---10----8----5
C)----8---10-b--r----8---10----8----5

this is the rhythm part during the solo:
C)----0--h--2-----0--h--2---2----5---0--h--2---0--0--0--2
G)----0--h--2-----0--h--2---2----5---0--h--2---0--0--0--2
C)----0--h--2-----0--h--2---2----5---0--h--2---0--0--0--2
                                                                             
 [   p.m.    ]

play that twice,   then play:
C)----0--/--5----3---5----3--5--5---8---3--5
G)----0--/--5----3---5----3--5--5---8---3--5
C)----0--/--5----3---5----3--5--5---8---3--5

C)---0--3----5--3--0--5--3----0--h--2----0--2--2---5---0--h--2
G)---0--3----5--3--0--5--3----0--h--2----0--2--2---5---0--h--2
C)---0--3----5--3--0--5--3----0--h--2----0--2--2---5---0--h--2
                [        p.m.      ]

C)---0--0--0--2--------------
G)---0--0--0--2--------------
C)---0--0--0--2-----0--/--12
      [     p.m.    ]

                    that's all of the rhythm guitar part.  You know which
parts to repeat where, I'm sure.   C.O.C  fuckin rules!
