This is the main riff. There is a lot of rhythmic variation but these are the main notes G|----------------------------| D|*----------------------1---*| A|*----------2---4---2-------*| E|--4--2--1-------------------| These are the "People appear, 'cause Fishbone is here to say..." parts G|----------------------------------------| D|----6--------------6---------------3----| A|--6---6--3-------6---6---3-------6------| E|------------4---------------4-----------| G|-------------------------------------------------| D|----5--------------5---------------2--2-3-2-3-2--| A|--5---5--2-------5---5---2-------5---------------| E|------------3---------------3--------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------| D|----6--------------6---------------6----------------3----| A|--6---6--3-------6---6---3-------6---6---3------6--------| E|------------4---------------4---------------4------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------------| D|--4--4-4--4------------------------------------------------| A|------------6---6--6-6--6-6--------------------------------| E|----------------------------7---6-6--6--4--1--4--6--4--1---| Use the 6th fret on your B-string for these--^-----------^ if you have one. It makes the pattern much easier!
This is for the 'bone solo section. The guitar solo uses the main riff. Oh, this section is used for the Johnny's Going to War section G|---------------------------------------------- D|-----3--6--3---------------------------------- A|---4-------------3--6--3----4-4-6-6-----3-4--- E|---------------4--------------------4-6------- The end of this measure is wrong, but all you need is any walking fill.
