(Same chords but the rythym changes a bit)
- Then there is this jazz/rock'n'roll combo. I don't know the proper rythym
so you have to listen to the record.

- Then there is more pick slides and crap
- then the Bridge plus bridge intro is repeated
- Then it goes back to the slow moody part like the beginning. This section
contains a bit of soft acoustic guitar which I couldn't be
bothered transcribing. Sorry. Someone can send it in if they want
Well that's about it. Please feel free to make corrections and send in Mr
Bungle songs!

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MR. BUNGLE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
