For the verse, the guitar just strikes an E chord on occasion.
E--0--B--0--G--1--D--2--A--2--E--0--
for the first solo:
E-----------------------------|B--12--15-12--12--12--12--15--| etc, just keep playingG--14b----14b-14b-14b-14b-----| variations on thatD-----------------------------|A-----------------------------|E-----------------------------|
for the second solo:
E-------------------------------|B------15-----15-----15-----15--|G--14b----14b----14b----14b-----| etcD-------------------------------|A-------------------------------|E-------------------------------|
The bass plays A for the chorus (?) part after the 2nd solo, there's a very buried clean guitar strumming A, I think. for the third solo:
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|B-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|G-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|D---------------------------------------------bend these notes slightly-------|A--12b~~~~~feedback--12r-10-12br-10--------10-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12b~~~--|E-----------------------------------12~~~-------------------------------------|

for the chorus after that solo, come in towards the end playing this:
E------|B--5---|G--7b-- and keep bending/picking the D note..D------| and astray from there on 5th/7th fretsA------|E------|
the fifth solo is basically a feedback solo, dissolving into a guitarless break. for the sixth solo, just repeat the basic elements of previous solos (haha) and proceed to meltdown. ------------------------------------------------- THE BUTTHOLE SURFERS GUITAR/BASS TAB ARCHIVE: http://www.islandnet.com/~mustang/1401/index.html -------------------------------------------------
