Flower Gardens Tab

This is my first tab.  It's not exact, but there aren't any videos of him playing this
live, and it's a very noisy song with a lot of clutter and effects on all of the instruments.

Bass Intro is just the first fret repeated with distortion

E-1111111111111111-----|

Bass + Guitar play the same thing for the main verse riff, just in different octaves

E-1-1-4-4-------------------------------------------|

Chorus - I'm not sure this is entirely correct, but this part is hard to hear.  There
are two guitars and the other is making a lot of noise with feedback and really low
dischordant notes, which I can't figure out.  I've tabbed out two different ways to play 
it which sound like they fit (even if they aren't necessarily the correct way to play it)

Lyrics:

If you wanna get close to it
You'll have to p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pay
Just don't bother getting used to it
If there's no t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-time

Chorus
I know it's all gonna end (x4)

If you wanna get inside of it
You'll be swimming through the p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pipes
You know we just make the most of it
If there's no t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-time

Chorus

If you wanna get close to it
You'll have to p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pay
Just don't bother getting used to it
If there's no t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-time
