FOR ONE GUITAR
The opening starts with a teriyaki-flavored riff like so:
E --15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13---15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13------
B --15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13---15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13------
G ---------------------------------------------------------------
D ---------------------------------------------------------------
A ---------------------------------------------------------------
E ---------------------------------------------------------------
The bass can either double the high-E string line on its low E at
the 15h fret, or better yet, detune the bass' E to D and play:
E(D) ---5--5--5--5--3--3--0--0--3--------------------------------
The verse riff is as follows (don't forget the nice rhythmic
stops in here, 'cause that's what gives the song that "hook"):
G Em
E ---------------------------------------------------------------
B --12-12--------13-12-------------------------------------------
G --12-12--------------12----14-14-------------------------------
D --12-12--12-12-------------14-14-----12-13-14------------------
A --10-10--------------------14-14--14---------------------------
E ---------------------------12-12-------------------------------
This is the main riff and gets played under the "I've got your
picture" lyrics, until "I sit there starin' and there's nothing
else to do" which features this:
A C D
E ----------------------------------
B --2-----5--7----------------------
G --2-----5--7----------------------
D --2-----5--7----------------------
A --0-----3--5----------------------
E ----------------------------------
A C D
I see you star-in' and there's noth-ing I can do
Next time around (after "I often kiss you when there's no one
else around"), this is added:
E --------------------------------------------------------------
B --2----5--7---------------------------------------------------
G --2----5--7------5--9--7--5--5--9--9--7--7--------------------
D --2----5--7---5--5--9--7--5--5--9--9--7--7--------------------
A --0----3--5---5--3--7--5--3--3--7--7--5--5--------------------
E --------------3-----------------------------------------------
E --------------------------------------------------------------
B --12-12-12----------------------------------------------------
G --12-12-12---5--9--7--5--5--9--7--------------7-7-7-7-5-5-2-5-
D --12-12-12---5--9--7--5--5--9--7--------------7-7-7-7-5-5-2-5-
A --10-10-10---3--7--5--3--3--7--5--------------5-5-5-5-3-3-0-3-
E --------------------------------------------------------------
..and back into the main riff. Granted, that jump to the barred
G at the 10th fret is a big one, but that's how it is on the
record, and with a little practice, it can be done. If you have
trouble, or if you wanna squeeze a second guitar in there, play
that G as a power chord on the 3rd fret instead of/in addition to
the 10th barre.
For the refrain, play this:
G
E ---------------------------------------------------------------
B --12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--------------
G --12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--------------
D --12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--------------
A --10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10--------------
E ---------------------------------------------------------------

G --12----12-----------------------------------------------------
D --12----12-----------12-10-9-----------------------------------
A --12----12------9-12---------12--------------------------------
E --10----10---10------------------------------------------------
think so...
F
E --------------------------------------------------------------
B --10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-------------
G --10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-------------
D --10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-------------
A ---8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8-------------

D --10----10------------10-9-7----------------------------------

Play that twice, then this:
G F# F F# G C E D C E D
E --------------------------------------------------------------
B ----(a quick down/up/down strum)------------------------------
G --------------------------------------5--9--7--5--5--9--7-----

D ------------------------7--7--7--7--5--5--2--5----------
A ------------------------5--5--5--5--3--3--0--3----------
E --------------------------------------------------------
I've got your...
The bridge after the second verse ("No sex, no drugs, etc") is
basically the same chord structure as the main riff, with a
rhythm change. The drum beat (hi-hat, actually) is on
"sex...drugs...wine...women" but the chord is played with
upstrokes on the word "no."
E ---------------------------------------------------------------
B -----------12--------12-------12-------------------------------
G -----------12--------12-------12-------------------------------
D -----------12--------12-------12-------------------------------
A -----------10--------10-------10-------------------------------
E ---------------------------------------------------------------
No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women...
Follow the same G - D - F - C chord pattern with that new rhythm
up to "everyone..." Then kick into the refrain and leave out the
full D and C riffs -- that space is taken up by the keyboard
chime sounds. You can throw in harmonics to fill the keyboard
gap, if you like. Over the "space" of the D, the following works
kinda nice:
D (Natural Harmonics)
E --------------------------------------------------------------
B -----------------------7--------------------------------------
G --10--10------------7-----7-----------------------------------
D --10--10-----12--7-----------7-------12-----------------------
A --10--10-------------------------12---------------------------
E ---8---8------------------------------------------------------
think so Turning Japanese...
I haven't found any harmonics that sound nice over the C chord,
but a pickslide will do in the meantime. Those of you with
tremelo prowess might want to divebomb on an F chord there. Just
a thought.
The solo is a little tricky at first, but worth it when executed
properly. It's played over the refrain riff.
E --12--10--12--10---7--10---7--7--5--5--3--5-------------------
B --12--10--12--10---8--10---8--8--7--7--5--7-------------------
G --------------------------------------------------------------
D --------------------------------------------------------------
A --------------------------------------------------------------
E --------------------------------------------------------------
E --5--3--5--3---0--3-------------------------------------------
B --6--5--6--5---1--5----1--3--5--7--8--10--12------------------
G --------------------------------------------------------------
D --------------------------------------------------------------
A --------------------------------------------------------------
E --------------------------------------------------------------
It's repeated twice, then back into the original refrain. It
sneaks in one more time near the end of the song; you'll hear it.
The end of the song is a variant of the riff after the 1st
refrain with a mega-cold ending:
G F# F F# G F# F
E --------------------------------------------------------------
B ----(a quick down/up/down strum)------------------------------
G --------------------------------------------------------------
D ---5-5-5--4-4-4--3-3-3--4-4-4--5-5-5--4-4-4--3-3-3-3----------
A ---5-5-5--4-4-4--3-3-3--4-4-4--5-5-5--4-4-4--3-3-3-3----------
E ---3-3-3--2-2-2--1-1-1--2-2-2--3-3-3--2-2-2--1-1-1-1----------
FOR TWO GUITARS
The whole song is actally done by TWO guitars (you can tell
because they're stereo panned left and right) so the above
arrangement is correct for ONE guitar. A more accurate
transcription for two guitars (if you really want it) is:
E --15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13---15-15-15-15-13-13-10-10-13------
B --------------------------------------------------(Guitar One)
G ---------------------------------------------------------------
D --12-12-12-12-10-10--7--7-10---12-12-12-12-10-10--7--7-10------
A --------------------------------------------------(Guitar Two)-
E ---------------------------------------------------------------
The second guitar (left channel) basically reinforces the riff
guitar by playing the same structure with power chords, or barre
chords with all downstrokes, all an octave or two lower, so it
sounds very aggressive.
The "lead" guitar can do this at the end:
E --------------------------------------------------------------
B --------------------------------------------------------------
G -------12--11--10--11--12--11--10-10-10-10--------------------
D --------------------------------------------------------------
A --------------------------------------------------------------
E --------------------------------------------------------------
Other than playing the rhythm part under the solo, that, just
split up the one-guitar transcription as you see fit, really.
