- Then it goes back to Figure A
(Same chords but the rythym changes a bit)

- Then there is more pick slides and crap
- then the Bridge plus bridge intro is repeated
- Then it goes back to the slow moody part like the beginning. This section
contains a bit of soft acoustic guitar which I couldn`t be
bothered transcribing. Sorry. Someone can send it in if they want
Well that`s about it. Please feel free to make corrections and send in Mr
Bungle songs!
