This is a easy song of frogstomp. It's really just one riff played fast and
slow.

didn't include strumming but its not hard to figure out.

D---12----------12-12------------|
A---12----------12-12------------|
D---0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0--0-|


Riff 2 - this one is played really quickly and you have to
really listen close to hear the deviations in the chords.
Don't necessarily try and strun each of these chords, try
and hammer SOME of the non-open ones (222xxx and 333xxx):

E--------------------------------------|
B--------------------------------------|
G--------------------------------------|
D---2--0--2--0--2-----0--2---0--2--3---| x 3
A---2--0--2--0--2-----0--2---0--2--3---|
D---2--0--2--0--2-----0--2---0--2--3---|
then...
E----------------------------------5-5-|
B----------------------------------5-5-|
G----------------------------------5-5-|
D---2--0--2--0--2-----0--2---0--2--5-5-|
A---2--0--2--0--2-----0--2---0--2------|
D---2--0--2--0--2-----0--2---0--2------|


Riff 3:
E-------------------------------|
B-------------------------------|
G-------------------------------|
D--12-----12---12-12---12-------|
A--12-----12---12-12---12-------|
D--0--0-0-0--0-0--0--0-0--0-0---|


Riff 4:
E---------------------------------|
B---------------------------------|
G---------------------------------|
D--2-0-2-0-2-3-0-2--0-2-0-2-3-0---|
A--2-0-2-0-2-3-0-2--0-2-0-2-3-0---|
D--2-0-2-0-2-3-0-2--0-2-0-2-3-0---|


Riff 5 is Riff 3 with an addition on the high string, I dont know
how this can be played, but somehow it happens:
E--2~------------------3--0-----|
B-------------------------------|
G-------------------------------| ~ = trill (play repeatedly)
D--12-----12---12-12---12-------|
A--12-----12---12-12---12-------|
D--0--0-0-0--0-0--0--0-0--0-0---|

I first heard this song with lyrics on their 'Rarities' album and I thought it was absolutly awesome. I had always thought that the intrumental was awesome as it was, however I always wondered what meaning would be added to the song using lyrics. I cant decide which one I prefer. They're both GENUIS!

yeah, but the one that has vocals is on their best of album...it's cool and the sound quality is better on the best of album. The madman is an alcoholic, which causes chaos in his life.
