This song is very open to interpretation.
It's Ween's song but Phish plays it too and I'm basing
it off stuff I have heard live and how I play it
with my band.  I think it's actually played one step up
so add one to all the numbers if you want.

Intro/Verse 
(Repeat as needed, should be 4 times with vocals I think)

G|-------------------------------8---------8--------------------|
D|----------6------------------8---------8-----6---6---6---6----|
A|--------6----------5-6--8--8-----8--8-------6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6---|
E|---6--6-------6--6-------------------------6---6---6---6---6--|

Chorus

E|-1---1---3---3---4---4---5---5---6-6-6-6-6-6-6-

Note for chorus:
I like to use a few variations on the Bb so it's not so static 
(or the 6 for those of you who don't know what a Bb is)
One way is to slide up an octave and back down. 
Other way is to sort of 6---8---6---8---6---8---
Hammer ons, pulls off, etc...use your imagination

Bridge (circus sounding part)

G|---------------------------|
D|---------------------------|
A|------8-----8-----8-----8--|
E|---6-----6-----6-----6-----|
