 The difference between Rhy fig 1 & Rhy fig 1a is that in Rhy fig 1a
 in the 3rd A5 you also play the lower strings, or in other words you play
 an A (577655) instead of an A5 power chord.


 Intro.-
  In the intro you play Rhy fig 1 or 1a several times, (alternate between
  them, listen to the record so you can know when to play each one) about
  four, then continue playing it while a second guitar enters playing this:

                    Fill A

	This is one of my favorites on the album.Needless to say it's the
one I am probably most wrong on. So FWIW hert goes...

	Cool biting,overdriven,make-you-break-out-in-a-cold-sweat guitar.

Verse:  If you ever need anything please dont...,

		Repeat during Verse.Every other time playing 1st A chords
		(the ones marked `*`) like this: 0
						  2
						  2
					      2
                   		  X
						  X
I use X to indicate the string not being played at all (not meaning dampened)

At the part " I'm very ape and very nice " the guitar is:

        	G      F
         	3      1
            3      1
            4      2
            5      3
            5      3
            3      1
Chorus

   Out of the Ground, Into the sky , Out of the sky, into the dirt.
