Intro: G F E D C Right now!
C (PM) Ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
I didn't put the rhythem for the intro
because it should be pretty easy to figure out. The C chord is
palm muted during the laughter. This next part is rhythem figure
1, and is used quite a bit in the song. A is just the opened
fifth string. q means quarter note and e means eighth
note.

I am an antichrist ...
Each of the above lines
represents two measures. Play rhythem figure 1 for the first
three lines, and just hit eighth note C chords for the last line.
The music continues by repeating the intro, rhythem figure
1 once, a measure of eighth note C chords (No dogs body!), a
measure of eighth note G chords, and then back to rhythem figure
1 for the second verse.

Anarchy for the
U. K. ....
For the 11 measure guitar solo there is a
background guitar which plays a simple eighth note rhythem. The
rhythem guitar slides between every chord change. Each of the 11
measures only uses one chord per measure, so here they are in the
order they appear:
Next
comes rhythem figure 1 again three times, followed by the
chorus and two more rhythem figure 1's (the final rhythem figure
1 is a little different; the last two notes are a C and then a
slide to a D chord).
A many ways to get what you

Next comes the bridge. This part is a little difficult
to tabulate clearly. : stands for the repeat measure sign, and
the numbers above the tab refer to each repeat. There is a
background guitar which plays a rhythem using DII, GIII and F#m,
and ending with a measure of D. I'll label where the rhythem
guitar chord changes are above the lead guitar tab. If you're
confused, just listen to the damn song. :P

Starting with the last syllable for "country", the
song basicly alternates between rhythem figure 1 and the chorus
for the rest of its duration. Another guitar plays a facsimilie,
but it's not that important. The song ends with some feedback
pitch C.
