------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TO PARTER - Butthole Surfers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Tyler J Email: full_metal_orange AT hotmail DOT com Tuning: Standard The guitar on the Cream Corn EP version seems to be tuned a little bit higher than E, but not quite F. Intro: E---------------------------------------------------------| B---------------------------------------------------------| G--slowly bend upwards------------------------------------| D-----------------------12-12-----12-12-----12-12----12---| REPEAT A--13-13-13-13-13-13-13-----------------------------------| E------------------------0--0-0-0-------0-0--------0--0---| play in a chunky way, picking muted strings along with the notes. There's another guitar in the right speaker, playing something similar to the 1st guitar, with tremolo on it. There's also a lead guitar at times: Lead gtr overtop: E--b18r----18---18---18--| B----------17---17---17--| G------------------------| D------------------------| A------------------------| E------------------------| at the end of that section, one guitar plays: E-------------------| B-------------------| G-------------------| D--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--| A--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--| E--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0--| etc and the other plays: E------------------------| B------------------------| G------------------------| D--12-12-12-12-12-12-12--| etc A---X--X--X--X--X--X--X--| E---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--| then repeat the intro. the solo gtr plays this: (bend/shake each note) E--18~-18~-18~-18-18-18-18-18~-18~-18~---18-18-18-16~-16~--| B--17~-17~-17~-17-17-17-17-17~-17~-17~---17-17-17-15~-15~--| G----------------------------------------------------------| D----------------------------------------------------------| A----------------------------------------------------------| E----------------------------------------------------------| E--16-16-16--16\18-18\19-19/18-18/16-16~~--| B--15-15-15--15\17-17\18-18/17-17/15-15~~--| G------------------------------------------| D------------------------------------------| A------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------| Repeat that as a basic lead. As it builds up, one gtr starts droning on the low E chord and the right speaker guitar starts playing this: E------------------------------| B------------------------------| G--12-12-12-12----12-12-12-----| keep repeating a variation on this... D--12-12-12-12----12-12-12-----| at the end of this section pull off to A--------------14----------14--| the open high B and E strings... E------------------------------| THEN: E-----------------------------| optional open high B and E strings B-----------------------------| G----X-9-X-9-X-9-X-9-X-9-10b--| D----X-9-X-9-X-9-X-9-X-9-10b--| or just do a subtle slide up to F... A----X-7-X-7-X-7-X-7-X-7------| repeat w/ out going to F, then to VERSE. E--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------| VERSE: E---------------------------------------| B---------------------------------------| G--9-9-9-9-9-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--| D--9-9-9-9-9-5-5-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--| A--7-7-7-7-7-3-3-3-3-3-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2--| E---------------------------------------| repeat the E / F riff, then: SOLO: E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G--------------------0-------0--------------------------0-------4-4-4---------4-4-4-0--| D----2-4-5-4-2^0---2-------2---2---2--------2-4-5-2-0-----2----------------------------| A----------------3-----3-2-------2------2-------------3-----3-2--------2-2-2-----------| E--0---------------------------------3b---0--------------------------------------------| E--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B----0---0-X-X-------------------------------------------------------------------------| G------0-X-X-X-0------------------------------------------------------0-0-2^0-\4-2-0---| D--4-----X-X-X----2-0-2-0---0-2-0-----2--------2-4-5--5-4-5-4-2---2-4----------------/-| A-------------------------3-------3-2------2--------------------3b---------------------| E---------------------------------------3b---0-----------------------------------------| The next solo (Gibby?) is far more buried but follows something like this over the verse chords: E--------------------------16--15--14----19---21--| bend....... B--------------16--15--14---/---/---/-----/----/--| G--16--15--14---/---/---/-------------------------| D---/---/---/-------------------------------------| A-------------------------------------------------| E-------------------------------------------------| listen to the EP for the picking patterns and how to bend/shake the notes. For the last verse, play the first solo instead of the normal verse chords. After that there's another Gibby solo.
