SHADOW OF A DOUBT

Thurston's part:

Tuning: F# F# F# F# E B

For the intro and verse play (all harmonics):

B--------------------------------------12--------|
E---------------12------------------------12-----|
F#--------12-------12-------------12---------12--|
F#-----12-12-12-------12-------12-12-12----------|
F#--12-12----12----------12-12-12----12----------|
F#--12----------------------12-------------------|

The "Met a stranger on the train" part just goes (still harmonics):

B------------------|
E------------------|
F#--7-7-7-7-7-7-7--|
F#--7-7-7-7-7-7-7--| etc
F#--7-7-7-7-7-7-7--|
F#--7-7-7-7-7-7-7--|

During the bridge (w/ multiple Kim vocals), one guitar keeps playing
harmonics at the 7th fret, and I believe the distorted guitar is
an overdub. It's hard to hear Thurston's part, but this works:

B----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
F#--7-----------5-----------7-----------5-----------3-----------3----0----7--|
F#--7-----------5-----------7-----------5-----------3-----------3----0----0--|
F#--0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0----0----0--|
F#--0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0----0----0--|

Play twice + keep droning the open strings til the section ends. It helps
to fret one of the middle F# strings at the 7th fret, or even strike 7th fret
harmonics furiously til the bridge ends. End the song on all open strings
or harmonics.
