Lead Guitar Behind Rythmn
Tremelo Picking between 11 and 14 like so seems to work:
add a JEt kinda effect if u can :) :)

e)-----------------------------------|
b)---^-------^-----------------------|
g)-11b-----14b-----11b^-----14b^-----|
d)-----------------------------------|
a)-----------------------------------|

whacking a slight bend in there also makes it sound similar.. not sure if its right but sounds ok under

everything else


1:37 After Snare hit:
(trebly guitar)
d)---------------------------------|
a)---------------------------------|
e)-0---2---2-2-0---0--2-2-2-2-2-5--|

u can make these chords like the rythmn, and whack a deeper bass effect on ur guitar to 
it sound really

meating.. its up to u.


1:48
Solo effort
hmmm im not 100% on this.. i generally just bend around on this strings (thing The 
and really give it some

some on the notes, generally its not a great solo, its just a cool little rock solo, so 
bend away around

these notes and see what happens :)
e)-----------------------------------------------------------------------------^-|
b)-4b(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)(5)--0-5b5b5b5b5b-6-5b5b5b5b5b-0-2b-x-2b-x-2b-x-2b--5b-|

2:00
Bridge Part
Start with the verse, quite palm muting with the last chord, opened, then gradually 
in another guitar

playing the trebly riff, but with more bass on it this time.. gradually build up letting 
palm muting off

slowly, until...

"Spends all his time lookin' for a main line....."

e)-0---2---2-2-0---0--2-2-2-2-2-5--|

riff, but with more fluency and less pause on the notes to fill in the outro.. nice and quite tho

continue with the correct pauses for drums and end on a muted harmonic note, always 
it nicely :)

not to hard :)


Lyrics:

Well he was born a street freak
And he will die one too.
With a drink in his hand and his friends in his sights
He's coming for you.
Street freak lies in your street
Street freak lies in your sheets
Street freak lies through his teeth
Street freak is a common thief.

Will this man ever learn
Does this man feel concern
Has this man ever heard
Street freak's not his only word.
So he was born a Street freak
and he will die one too
With a drink in his hand and his friends in his sights
He's coming for you.

Spends all his time lookin' for a main line (x8)
