Primus - Southbound Pachyderm

Tabbed by Josh Patterson.


Howdy once again, my past couple posting have been wrong but this is
almost a sure thing. During the entire song Les plays an open A
string. So I'm not going to write the tab for the A string.  You'll
just have to remember to play it all the time.


intro 1:

G---------------------|-------------------------|---------------------------7/8-9-|
D-7----9-10-----------|-7----9-10-10/5-5/7------|--7---9-10---12--10-9-5-7--7/8-9-|
A-open all the time---|-open--------------------|--open---------------------------|
E---------------------|-------------------------|---------------------------------|


intro 2:

G---------------------|-------------------------|------------------7/8-9---7/8-9--|
D-7----9-10-----------|----7----9-10-10/5-5/7---|-12---10-9-5-7-12-7/8-9---7/8-9--|
A---------------------|-------------------------|---------------------------------|
E---------------------|-------------------------|---------------------------------|

repeat intro 2 then play this....

G---------------------|---------------------|----------------------|
D-10-9--7-5-7-7-5-7---|-10-9--7-5-7-7-5-7---|-10-9-10--12-10-12-14-|
A---------------------|---------------------|----------------------|

That's pretty much it. All that you have to do is play the
necessary parts when they are needed.

I don't know tab very well but:

The middle finger goes:
G-2-4-5---2-4-5-4-0-2---2-4-5---2-4-5-4-0-2---8hm---5-4-0-2---22234

While the index goes:
A-00000003h4h000000... D-22234

That's pretty much it, just follow the other tab here except the D
string is on the G.

All the tabs on this page are correct, up until the higher
stuff. Here's the ABSOLUTE correct version of the MAIN riff:

Yeah, yeah. We all know the 7-9-10 riff.

G||----------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------
D||-----7------9--10--------------------------|----7----9--10---10/5---7-------------
A||open---------------------------------------|open----------------------------------
E||----------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------

Okay, Here's the part most often missed:

G||-----19----------16   /  18 (20)          the 20 is only played sometimes
D||-----15-------------17 / 19               this is a wierd riff, you hit the 16 on G, then right
A||open----------------------------          after you hit the 17 on D, then slide them both
E||--------------------------------          up at the same time

Now the power chords, played very fast flemenco style:

G||-----14-14-15-15-15-16-----
D||-----12-12-13-13-13-14-----
A||open-----------------------
E||---------------------------

All the rest of the song is just varitions with 7-9-10 stuff.
