This song kicks absolute ass. The guitar in it is crazy - i doubt i will ever tab it as
half the song is just feedback! I'd recommend a listen if you haven't heard it! The song
is in standard tuning. The bass on the record is played with a heavy distortion or fuzz 
so definitely stick it on! Enjoy!

Bridge/Guitar Solo (if you could call it a solo). After letting the E ring out from the
post-chorus there is basically a few bars of letting the note decay then this comes in.
It's basically the main riff (intro/verse) but played up an octave.

G|-9-9-9-9-7-7-7-7-|-8-8-8-8---------|---------------------|
D|-----------------|---------7-7-7-7-|-8-8-8-8-10-10-10-10-|
A|-----------------|-----------------|---------------------|
E|-----------------|-----------------|---------------------|

G|-----------------|
D|-----------------|
A|-8-8-8-8-7-7-7-7-|
E|-----------------|

Then Sanders shouts GET 'EM! and the "solo" continues but the bass plays the verse part.
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|---------7-7-7-7-|-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-0-0-0-0---------|-----------------|-5-5-5-5-6-6-6-6-|-8-8-8-8-1-1-1-1-|

This then segues into the verse, playing the same riff.

The chorus and post-chorus is then played again and that's the end!
