STONE TEMPLE PILOTS - "crackerman" Tablature

TAB:"Crackerman" by Stone Temple Pilots
Okay, the easiest way to tab this one is by just tabbing out the two or
three basic riffs and fills and then telling the order in which they go.
As far as I know it's in standard tuning, and the solo's in the key of A.
Some info on my tab: ~~~ means vibrato
v's in front of a chord means pick upstroke
b means bend
r means release

Okay, here's the lyrics and some notes to tell you which part to play for
them:
Intro: Riff 1 with Fill A
Verse 1: Riff 2 "Kickin' as I'm tryin' to sleep
I got the mud beneath my shoes
Rubber band, rubber band, gun in hand,
Gun in hand I wanna use."
Chorus: Riff 1 (with Fill A, 1ST TIME ONLY)
"Roamin', roamin', roam
(Get away, gotta get away.)
And I think I think too much.
(I don't care, yeah, but I don't care.)
Roamin', roamin', roam
(Get away, gotta get away.)
And I think I think too much."
Verse 2: Riff 2 "Trippin' as I'm thinkin'
'Bout a boy, his name was Sue.
He's a man, he's a man, Crackerman,
Crackerman he's a woman too."
Chorus: Riff 1 then go to Bridge
Bridge: Riff 3 "And I'm thinkin'
While I'm thinkin'.
And I'm thinkin'
While I'm thinkin'."
Solo: (not tabbed) Riff 2 (4x)
Chorus: Riff 1 then go to Bridge
Outro: Riff 2 but ends on this chord: |-------|
|-v4~~~-|
|-v2~~~-|
|-v4~~~-|
|-v0~~~-|
|-v0~~~-|
Vocal ad lib during outro: "Wind traps,
mud flaps,
dust blowin' in my eyes,
I'm rollin',
I'm rollin'..." etc.

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 STONE TEMPLE PILOTS 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.
