                        From their amazing '94 EP "None"

Comments:

is transcribed for a six-string, so tune to Bb Eb Ab Db Gb Bb, and
you'll never miss that last string, cause you can't play those solos
anyway can you ;) Definitely use fat strings if you want a good sound,
at least 12's.
Generally one dash is a 16th note or a 32nd note in length, so either
---- or -------- is one beat.  Be very careful with the rhythms in
song.  The rhythms are transcribed very accurately in this document.

Notation explanation:
---------
-5:--4:--  Time Signature changes.  If you don't understand, listen
-4:--4:--        to the song.
---------

the rhythms accurately, and to palm mute the right notes.  Pay
attention to those P.Ms.
