Whew what a great song...I fucking love Spike's voice...
Especially when he sings that high "Nothing"...Makes me
not the only one with a relatively high voice :-)
And btw sorry that it took so long to tab this but I was
pretty busy..from now on it goes faster again...

But 4th time don't play the C&G chords in the end but an E
while the second guitar picks a high E or F chord (do what 
you like the best but I think an E Powerchord sounds better) 
and slides down.

  GUITAR 1!!!		GUITAR 2!!!
e|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--|-------|

Chorus:

Guitar 1&2

e|---------------------------------------------------|

G|---------5-5-5-5---------5-5-5-5-------------------|
D|-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---|

E|-1-1-1-1---------1-1-1-1---------3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---|

Then play Verse again 4x but last time with Powerchords only
and only the E-chord as an barré!!!

Chorus 2:
(with the high "Nothin'" I love it)

e|-------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------5-5-5-5---------------------------------------|
D|-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-7-7-7-7-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5---|

E|-1-1-1-1---------5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3---|

Then play Verse 2x with Powerchords (no barrés)

And then Guitar 1 plays 3x Chorus 2 and stops at the A chord
and solutes to the G chord slowly with feedback and all that
stuff..

Guitar 2 plays this:
			| last time kill your guitar here !!!TILT!!!
