Introduction:
These are the chord shapes -- listen to a recording for
timing and strumming information.
D D A D
H-O H-O
| E |
| B 10 7 5 |
| G 7 7 7 6 7 |
| D 7 9 7 7 7 7 |
| A 7 9 9 |
| E 10 |
Repeat as necessary for intro.
Then
A D (x4) Then repeat Introductory sequence...
Back to A D, until this part (again, listen to a recording
for timing information and when it comes:
| E |
| B 10 9 10 9 10 9 |
| G 7 7 7 7 7 7 |
| D 7 7 7 7 7 7 |
| A |
| E | then noodle on D... |
| E |
| B 10 9 10 11 10 9 |
| G 7 7 7 12 7 7 |
| D 7 7 7 13 7 7 |
| A |
| E |
Repeat twice...
Then back to the main lick, then A > D, the last time ending with
a D chord on the second fret (basic D chord).
Then comes the distortion, and the progression changes to a
D C D C G > F one (See below)... listen to the recording for timing.
This is the solo Trey does on Lawn Boy.. every time I think he
noodles around with it a little.
~~~~~ ~~~~~ ~~
| E 5 4 3 |
| B (3) 3 3 5 3 5^(7) |
| G (2) 4 |
| D |
| A 5 3 5 |

Palm muting...
| E |
| B 5^(7) 5 3 5^(7) 5 3 |
| G 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 |

Then:
Rake Fast!!! ....................
| E 15 15 15 14 13 12 7 6 5 4 3 0 |
| B 13 13 15 14 13 12 7 6 5 4 3 2 0 |
| G 14 0 |
| D 2 |
| A 2 |
| E 0 |
..Into the JAM!!
Em > D
Here's a little lick that Trey did at Shoreline in 1995 at the start:
(Thanks to Mike Flouton)
| E |
| B 12h13 11h12 10 |
| G 9h11 12 11 10 9 8 7 7 9 |
| D 8h9 9p8p7 |
| A 9p8p7 |
| E |
After the Climax of the jam, it cools down but maintains the same
Em > D progression. Trey might noodle over it a little, then goes
into the words :
Rai rai Rocko (?)
Marco Esquandolas (?)
Been you to have any spice/spike mon? (?)
A heavy C chord makes for the transition to the next part:
D C D C G > F (loud!)
I like to play the G > F chords as such:
G F
| E |
| B 8 6 |
| G 7 5 |
| D 9 7 |
| A 10 8 |
| E |
Though I'm sure most people will stick with the barre chord shapes.
For this part, I can't decide which one sounds better / works better - the
C chord or the Am or the Am7 chord. They're all very closely related, Am
being the sixth of C. Play it however you like, I suppose
D / Am7
Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run/Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run
D / Am7
Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run/Run Run Run Run Run Run Run Run
(with "Run run run" chant over)
"Set the gearshift for the high gear of your soul . . .
you've got to run like an antelope . . . out of control..."
Eventually they slow this chord progression down, ending on the D chord.
Trey will sometimes bend the fifth fret on the B string up a whole step
and hold it while the band does their grand finale, and he sometimes does his
"Thanks a lot, we'll be back in fifteen minutes" routine (yeah, right).
