  Intro:

  G     F     E   D   C

              Right       now!

  

  C (PM)

  Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

  

  I didn't put the rhythem for the intro because it should be pretty easy

  to figure out.  The C chord is palm muted during the laughter.  This

  next part is rhythem figure 1, and is used quite a bit in the song.  A

  is just the opened fifth string.  q means quarter note and e means

  eighth note.

  

   C   A C     A C       A C FI  Em

  |e e e e e e e e | e e e e q   q   |

  

  

  Each of the above lines represents two measures.  Play rhythem figure 1

  for the first three lines, and just hit eighth note C chords for the

  last line.  The music continues by repeating the intro, rhythem figure 1

  once, a measure  of eighth note C chords (No dogs body!), a measure of

  eighth note G chords, and then back to rhythem figure 1 for the second

  verse.

  

  

  For the 11 measure guitar solo there is a background guitar which plays

  a simple eighth note rhythem.  The rhythem guitar slides between every

  chord change.  Each of the 11 measures only uses one chord per measure,

  so here they are in the order they appear:

  

  Dm  EmVII  Dm  EmVII  Dm  EmVII  Dm  G  G  GIII  GIII

  

  The guitar solo goes like this:

  Next comes rhythem figure 1 again three times, followed by the chorus

  and two more rhythem figure 1's (the final rhythem figure 1 is a little

  different; the last two notes are a C and then a slide to a D chord).

  

  

  Next comes the bridge.  This part is a little difficult to tabulate

  clearly.  : stands for the repeat measure sign, and the numbers above

  the tab refer to each repeat.  There is a background guitar which plays

  a rhythem using DII, GIII and F#m, and ending with a measure of D.  I'll

  label where the rhythem guitar chord changes are above the lead guitar

  tab.  If you're confused, just listen to the damn song.  :P

                                                        ^ microphonic feedback

                                                          pitch B

  

  Rhythem figure 1 is played three more times, followed by the chorus.

  

  

  

  Starting with the last syllable for "country", the song basicly

  alternates between rhythem figure 1 and the chorus for the rest of its

  duration.  Another guitar plays a facsimilie, but it's not that

  important.  The song ends with some feedback pitch C.
