Other Versions:
The original Meat Puppets recording from Meat Puppets 2 is
a faster punk type version, with variations on the --11-11-11-
bit, and no solo. Its great though! -10-10-10--
The version from Too High to Die (hidden track) is a bit more
complex, with a long solo/jam at the end (loads of wah), a
bit hard to tab really. Learn the scales and positions and
play around!
