 - "Sex Type Thing" by Stone Temple Pilots

version.  Here's the riff:
E-|---------------------------||
B-|---------------------------||
G-|---------------------------||
D-|---------------------------||
A-|---7-7---7---7---7-7-7-7---||
E-|-0-7-7-0-6-0-5-0-3-3-5-3-0-||

E-|-----0-------0--------0-------0---||
B-|---0---0---0---0----0---0---0---0-||
G-|-4-------3--------2-------0-------||
D-|----------------------------------||
A-|----------------------------------||
E-|----------------------------------||

Then, when the verses come in, there's this simple, 2 chord riff.  (If ya'
wanna get technical, I think the chords are F#5/E and F#5.)  I'm not very
good at writing it out "in rhythm" so just listen to the song and you'll
get the gist of it:
E-|----------------|------------------|------------------------||
B-|----------------|------------------|------------------------||
G-|----------------|------------------|------------------------||
D-|-4-4--4-4-x-x-x-|-x-4-4-4-4--4-x-4-|-(4)--4-4--4--4--x--x-x-||
A-|-4-4--4-4-x-x-x-|-x-4-4-4-4--4-x-4-|-(4)--4-4--4--4--x--x-x-||
E-|-0-2--0-2-x-x-x-|-x-0-2-2-0--2-x-0-|-(0)--2-2--0--2--x--x-x-||

Ah, but there's ALSO that cool ascending and descending harmonic thing,
right?  Right.  Well, all you gotta do is lightly touch the E string at
about the 3rd fret and pick 4 times (in rhythm) while gradually moving
your finger toward the 1st fret.  That's the ascending harmonic part; for
the descending, just reverse your direction.
   Ascending:         DEscending:
E-|-----------------||-----------------||
B-|-----------------||-----------------||
G-|-----------------||-----------------||
D-|-----------------||-----------------||
A-|-----------------||-----------------||
E-|-*3*-*2*-*2*-*1*-||-*1*-*1*-*2*-*3*-||
    (natural harm.)    (natural harm.)

Then, for the "chorus" ("I know you want what's on my mind..." etc.) it's
just standard power chords (5th's).  Here's how to finger them:
    B   A  D/A
E-|---|---|---|
B-|---|---|-3-|
G-|-4-|-2-|-2-|
D-|-4-|-2-|-0-|
A-|-2-|-0-|-0-|
E-|---|---|---|

And HERE's where they go:
B      A   D/A            A   B
I know you want what's on my mind,
B      A      D/A            A   B
I know you'll like what's on my mind,
B      A   D/A        A   B
I know it eats you up inside,
B      A    D/A
I know you know, you know, you know.


After the second "chorus", you go straight into this nifty riff.  It's a
simple moving-chord-shape.  I use my middle and ring fingers to do this:
E-|-0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0--0-0-0-0-0-0--0--0---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-|
B-|-3-3-3--5-5-5--7-7-7--9-9-9-9-9-9/11-11--11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-|
G-|-3-3-3--5-5-5--7-7-7--9-9-9-9-9-9/11-11--11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-|
D-|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A-|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
