RIFF 1 Guitar 1 only
E-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------B-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------G------------------------------5--------7------7------------------------------9------10----10------D------5------5------5------5--------7------7------8------8------8------9------10-----10-----A------5------5------5------3--------5------5------8------8------8------7------8-------8-------E------3------3......3--------------------------------6------6------6-------------------------------- G C D A# E F
So the chord progression is G-C-D-A#-E-F...and remember to keep it in
mind that I have not tabbed out the exact number of strums for each
chord. The one main flaw with guitar tab is that it is impossible to
discern a song's rhythm from it, so I am not going to bother attempting
it. Anyway, as I was saying this is what comes. Next we have:
Guitars 1 and 2 RIFF 1 2 times (approximately...once
again,
check your recordings)
At the end of the last progression they go back and forth between the E
and F chords like so:
E---------------------------------------- At least
to my memoryB---------------------------------------- that is
what they do. G-----------9----10----9------10--- Whether they do
or not, itD-----------9----10----9------10--- functions (to
my ear anyway)A-----------7----8------7------8----- as a good transition into the E---------------------------------------- next section.
After the E-F back and forth part the whole band comes in. Then:
Guitar 1 SOLO
Guitar 2 RIFF 1
Yes, I could put alot of time and effort into rewinding the tape ad
nauseum and figuring out what Billy (I assume by the speed that it is
Billy) is doing but I see no point in that because he was just jamming
anyway. HE probably doesnt even know what he did unless he listened to
the tape. So what you need to do is take some blues sclaes and just
hammer away on them quickly while the other guitarist plays the
progression. And oh yeah, this song has alot of solos so...do this alot,
After the solo we get lyrics, and under them we have:
Guitars 1 and 2 RIFF 1
With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound
he pulls the splitting high tension wires down.
(Guitar 1 solo, Guitar 2 riff 1)
(both guitars riff 1)
He picks up a bus and throws it back down
as he wades thru the people in the center of town.
(Guitar 1 solo, Guitar 2 riff 1)
(both guitars riff 1)
Helpless people on a subway train
scream bug-eyed as he looks in on them.
(Guitar 1 solo, Guitar 2 riff 1)
Now despite its brevity I guess we could call this Riff 2. The sound on
my recordin is really bad, but I think they just play this:
RIFF 2
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------B---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------G--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------D------3------3----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A------3------3----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------E------1------1---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh no, they say he's got to go...go,go Godzilla.
(drums, Guitar 1 solo)
E---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------B---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------G---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------D------3------3-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A------3------3-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------E------1------1----------------------------------------------------1h3p1h3p1h3~------------ Oh no, there goes Tokyo...go, go God...zilla.
By the way, that hammer and pull off thing is done for a bit longer and
kind of fast. After that we have:
Guitar 1 SOLO
Guitar 2 RIFF 1
Then it comes back to this:
(Both guitars Riff 2)
Oh no, they say he's got to go...go, go Godzilla.
(drums...Guitar 1 solo)
(Both guitars Riff 2)
Oh no, there goes Tokyo...go, go God...zilla. (Do hammer-pull off.)
Then only drums for a while. A bit later, bass line comes in. Further
down the road Guitar 1 comes in for a solo, at the end of which we get
both guitars doing something like:
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------B---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------G---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------D------5/7------9---------10-------11----12------13-------and so on
right up theA------5/7------9----------10------11----12------13-------neck...a crazy
powerE------3/5------7----------8--------9------10------11-----chord going all the way up the neck. Then the
insanity winds down.
Your drummer bursts in
with an explosive roll and
then you just:
Guitars 1 and 2 RIFF 1 which gets played under these lyrics:
History shows again and again
how nature points out the folly of men...Godzilla! (2 times)
After the second time do that E-F thing again, then:
Guitar 1 SOLO
Guitar 2 RIFF 1
When solo comes to its end you once again switch back and forth between
E and F power chords, then make random insanity going up and down the
neck much like the ascending power chords. When it all dies down, a
high-pitched voice says:
I love you, Godzirra!
