If you listen real closely during the intro, you can hear Vinnie saying
something like: "Are ya ready to rrrrrot? Check it out."

The verse riff is a piece of cake.....E5 F#5 E5 D....or it could be E F# E D
depending on what you think sounds better.

E|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------|

The chorus is two more simple power chords: B5 and G5.

E|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------|-----------------------------------|
G|-4--4--4---4--4---4--4--4--4--4--4-|-----------------------------------|
D|-4--4--4---4--4---4--4--4--4--4--4-|-5--5--5---5--5---5--5--5--5--5--5-|

E|-----------------------------------|-3--3--3---3--3---3--3--3--3--3--3-|

When he's saying "Rotting Pinata" over and over you play open D and G chords.

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

This is my attempt at the solo, my favorite on the album. Definitely not
perfect.


E|------------------------------|-------------------------------|
B|------------------------------|-------------------------15\---|
G|-9--9--9--9--9b(11)-11-11~----|-9--9--9--9--9--7--9--7--------|
D|------------------------------|-------------------------------|
A|------------------------------|-------------------------------|
E|------------------------------|-------------------------------|

E|-12-12-12-12-12b(14)-14-14~---|-12-12-12-12---------12---------|
B|------------------------------|-------------10b(12)----12-10---|
G|------------------------------|--------------------------------|
D|------------------------------|--------------------------------|
A|------------------------------|--------------------------------|
E|------------------------------|--------------------------------|

Then he does some stuff with this scale:

E|-7-12-10-7-----------------------|
B|------------10-7-----------------|
G|------------------9--7-----------|
D|------------------------9--7-----|
A|------------------------------10-|
E|---------------------------------|

Then it goes something like this:

E|--------------------------------------------|
B|----10-12-10----10-12-10----10-12-10-12-12~-|
G|-11----------11----------11-----------------|
D|--------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|

E|-----------------------------------|--------------10~-------|
B|-12--12-12-10----------------------|------------------------|
G|--------------11-9-----------------|-9b(11)-----------------|
D|--------------------12-9-----9--12-|------------------------|
A|--------------------------12-------|------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|------------------------|

E|---------------------|
B|---------------------|
G|----9b(11)(9)-7~-----|
D|---------------------|
A|---------------------|
E|---------------------|

Then it's back to the intro riff, verse, and chorus.

======
LYRICS (a lot of these aren't very clear)
======

Beat on me
Spill my insides out on the ground
Cut open me
I will go when I say die

I will rot away
(It's a?) rotting pinata
Rotting pinata

Seize our soul
Cut us a hole into the sky
??????
What's the word, ????

Here lies the wreck that was me
Here lies the junk that was me
Oh God help mem rot, I don't look quite the same
Grab my beating heart, take it from this broken cage
Today
I'm rotting

Go away
With red and black I will cross my side
??????
Just pull the plug, yeah, let me die
