(NOTE: Riffs D1 is a more complicated version of D2, which is played
by gtr. 1 (right). Riff D2 is played by gtr. 2 (left). This is
just how I think it is - 'cause it's difficult to say wheteher
riff D1 or riff D2 is played. I'd suggest that riff D1 would be
played only on the 4 bar sequence (after interlude 2), which
leads into the last chorus/outro. Anyway, both riffs sound so
similar, that I think: no one will blame you, if you play just
the easier one, D2)

This is played while another guitar comes in and rubs the pick across

The last part is just Tom playing a high "F" on the "D" string's 14 fret

to a regular pattern. Or maybe it's on the "B" string's 14 fret, I
can't remember which. It's easy to figure out. Then the final chord is

just this.....

YEAR OF THA BOOMERANG

Transcribed by Stephen Quinlan ([email protected]

Here's all the main riffs I can think off.
Use them in whatever order they appear.
I'm not sure about any of this since I've never seen the song being played 
by the band.

Dropped D tuning

X= Strike Muted Strings (D=Down stroke,U=Up Stroke)
h= harmonic
h/o = hammer on
p/o = pull off

1)Main riff. Use Neck Pickup.
h/o U h/o D U D
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
D|-------X---0--2-------X-X-X------------------------------------------------
A|-------X--------------X-X-X------------------------------------------------
D|-0--2--X--------0--2--X-X-X------------------------------------------------
h/o


2)Nice Jazzy bit. Use Neck Pickup with mid volume.
h h h h h h 
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
D|------7--------7----------7-------7--------3-------5-----3----------------
A|----5--------5----------7-------7--------3-------5-----3------------------
D|--0--------0----------7-------7--------3-------5-----3-----3/10 b 12 r 10-
The sistas are..

3)Whammy Bit.
Set Whammy on Double Octave Up. Use neck pickup, and adjust Volume to about
half way to eliminate the unwanted Noise caused by the delightful Whammy Pedal

h
E|-12-----------------------------------------------------------------------
B|-12-----------------------------------------------------------------------
G|-12-----------------------------------------------------------------------
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A|--------5-----------------------------------------------------------------
D|-----------0--2--0--5--0--------------------------------------------------
I got no property but...


4)Other Whammy bit for the second occurence of the "Enslaved by Dogma" part
h h h
E|-12--------------------12------------12-----------------------------------
B|-12--------------------12------------12-----------------------------------
G|-12--------------------12------------12-----------------------------------
D|--------12---0---12---------12---0----------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

5)Fast Angry Bit
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
D|-2--4--4-----2--4--4------------------------------------------------------

(Repeat next bit 4 times)
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
B|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
G|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
A|----------------0---------------------------------------------------------
D|-2--4--4--4--4------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah!

(Then play this Chord over the previous riff and yes I'm not sure if 
its right coz I dont have a copy of the song or my guitar with me so there)
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
B|--9------------------------------------------------------------------------
G|--9------------------------------------------------------------------------
D|--9------------------------------------------------------------------------
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------------
D|---------------------------------------------------------------------------



6)I cant describe the final "go crazy on the whammy pedal" bit other than
use the whammy on double octave up setting, pick really fast and hard and
end it on a couple of bends.
