The lyrics to this song are available here on The Sisters' very own Lyrics page and also here in the SistersWiki.

The song has two chords; G#m and D# for the studio rendition. Note that the rhythm guitar must be tuned down from standard E.

The rhythm guitar plays this in muted power chords; sometimes a clean guitar gives the full chords at the beginning of the bar:

   G#m               D#
Eb|(5)--------------|(0)--------------|
Bb|(5)--------------|(0)--------------|
Gb|(5)--------------|(1)--------------|
Db|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
Ab|-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|
Eb|-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|
(each note above represents two sixteenth notes. In the middle of the song, each chord is held for two measures.)

The main riff in standard tuning:

  G#m                    D#
E|----------------------|-----------------------|
B|----------------------|-----------------------|
G|-------------6---4-3--|--------------4---3-4--|
D|-6-6-(lots)-6-6-6-6-6-|-5-5-(lots)-5--5-5-5-5-|
A|----------------------|-----------------------|
E|----------------------|-----------------------|

The live version is played one semitone lower yet.
