As an incentive, here's the song 
mostly TABbed out.  I still need the
lyrics....  Thanks to whomever first
 sent me the TAB, since that's where
I learned much of the parts (also 
from my guitar teacher).  As is 
usual
with TV's stuff, you gotta listen 
closely to catch the 
rhythms--they're
not at all straightforward.

TAbbed by Jay Verkuilen (who got it 
from some other people--if I knew 
who you
were, I wouldn't have to post this 
again :)

I don't think I've got the timing 
right above, so you'll have to 
listen
real closely.  Richard's part goes 
for a beat or a part of a beat 
before
 Most of the song is this riff.  The
 second solo (jam) is over
that.

Little scale part:

                        Play 3x                  last time

Am                   Am


I misremember the chords under this 
scale, so check them.


Then the Life in the hive... part 
(listen to vocal):

|D    C|, with someone playing notes
 from the D mixolydian scale (

ended with Gmaj7 chord and the 
following riff (
              ------------8-p-7---

                    --------------

The first solo (is a set of three 
scales with pauses in between, 
played
with alone, each in D mixolydian.  
The first starts on 15th fret D on 
the
B string and ends on 9th fret F# on 
the A string.  It covers all notes 
in
between.  The second starts on 10th 
fret A on the B string and goes to
5th fret D on the A string (then 
slides to 9th fret F#).  Listen 
closely to
the song to catch the repeats.  I 
don't have a guitar here, so I can't
check it to be sure and can't 
exactly remember what to do here.  
:(

The third part is:

                                                                    v

Second verse..., same as the first.


Second solo is over the main riff 
and is in D mixolydian.  It starts 
slowly
and builds to a massive climax.  The
 solo is one massive improv--
pretty crazy through this part.  
Afterwards there are some chords, 
but I
can't remember what they 
are--nothing complicated, however.
