The verse:

A5 power chords, tickling a G5 power chord at the beginning of every
couple measures, and at the beginning of each measure during the
second part of the verse.  Here's the gist with a lame attempt at the lyrics.

A5 (x022xx@1)                           G5Frequently (355xxx@1)called nothin' buts 
A5 (x022xx@1)                          G5Snorin' (355xxx@1)when you snap it back
A5 (x022xx@1)     G5Everyone (355xxx@1)A5 (x022xx@1)           G5Knows (355xxx@1)it's you
A5 (x022xx@1)       G5 (355xxx@1) A5 (x022xx@1)
Why won't you admit it, scream
E5You (022xxx@1)
That E5 is:
G--9--
D--9--
A--7--
E-----

Then, the little bridge-riff is:

 A--7----8--7-
And take it all

Verse again, then the chorus, which goes like this:

A5 (x022xx@1)single-note A (7th fret on D)  D5
                          I be-lieve,
          A-note C5 (x355xx@1)    E5 (022xxx@1)      
that I'll never  leave              your serpentine pad.

(just in case yr wondering, all the chords are barre)

My interpretation of the lyrics:

Frequently called nothin' buts
Snorin' when you snap it back
Everybody, knows it's you, why won't you admit it, scream!
You
And take it all

Corporate integration
From the corporation
I don't need this corporation attitude
Tude tude tude

--Chorus--
I believe,
That I'll never leave
Your serpentine pad

Darlin' when you wake up
Better ask the grown-ups
If they have, hose and twine, leave the man who needed the lice
Think it might

Be another scene, bet
I don't wanna know, but
I don't know, if I should, if I could or if I would, anyway
(serpentine pad)

--Chorus--

End.
