Charmicarmicat by The Melvins

TUNING: DADGBE

Legend:  Any note sepatated by a slash(/) is a "drop bend". 
That means that the note would be bent BEFORE picking and then dropped from the sharp 
pitch to the fret's regular pitch.
The song starts off with a ripping, low volume, super-crunchy ball of feedback which 
lasts for the first 2 minutes of the song.  
This feedback can be obtained by using anywhere from 2 to 4 distortion pedals AT ONCE!!. 
 
Superb amounts of volume aren't needed because the pedals take care of the feedback 
job at whatever volume you're at.  
For the first 2 minutes of the song, lay low and rub your hands along the strings 
while the distortion pedals do the bulk of the work.  Then head into this smoothly and 
quietly:

Riff#1:

-----------------------------------------!
-----------7----------------6------------!
--0-1---0--5-------0-1---0--4--0-0-0-0-0-!
--0-1---0----------0-1---0-----0-0-0-0-0-!

Play this riff a few times, then do this:

------------------------------------------!
---6--------------------------------------!
-----4---------------------------5--------!
------------------------------------------!


After 4 of those, you'll head into this main riff:

--------------------------------!--------------------------------------!
--------------------------------!--------------------------------------!
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-!----------6/5----6/5--------6/5---4---!
0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-!-0-0-0-0------0-----------0-----0---0-!

The parts between the exclamation points in that last section are 
repeated while each verse sluggishly moves by.  While Buzz 
sings, play this:

17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-!
16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-!
