head like a hole guitar tablature

D|----2-2---2---2-2---2-2-6-2-0-2--|

this is the general keyboard line transcribed for the bass.  though there have 
been many transcriptions featuring a much simpler bass line, these fail to note
the dropped D tuning, and the single low D played towards the end of the riff.  
if you listen closely, you will notice that this riff is played with many 
variations throughout the song.  feel free to improvise :)

		     (sing first time only) 

this entire chorus is played twice all the way through.  it is played the
whole time with very fast and heavy strumming.  on the last two bars   
(both entirly in A) trent (or robin finck) randomly mutes the chords through-
out the chorus.  (once again, feel free to improvise)
