Swervedriver- 'Son of Jaguar E'

OK, this is a deceptive bugger of a song so what I'm gonna do is give
you the bass-lines first then what I have been able to decipher
guitar-wise. Stay in standard tuning, it's simpler. So :-

G|----------------------------------| These be the verses.
D|---------5----------------7-------|
A|---4^5-5---4^5-5----6^7-7---7^6-6-|
E|-3----------------5---------------|

G|--------------------------| And this be the chorus
D|--------------------------| The first part of the descending motif
A|-2-1-----2-1-----0--------| is played twice. when you get to the
E|-----4-2-----4-2---4-2-0--| open A, that's when Adam sings
'You're the one for me/son of jaguar E..'.

For the guitar, the arpeggiated bit in the verses goes like this:-

E|-2-----0-----|
B|---3-----3---|
G|-----4-----0-| x 2
D|-------------|
A|-------------|
E|-------------|

E|-0-----0-----|
B|---2-----3---| x 2 as well.
G|-----------2-|
D|-----2-------|
A|-------------|
E|-------------|

E|-2-0--|------| This is the bridge between verses #1&2.
B|-3-2--|------| The first pair of chords are played on one guitar
G|-4-2--|------| set with LOADS of feedbacky distortion and wah-wah.
D|-4-2--|-5-7--| The second set are played with normal-ish fuzz on
A|-2-0--|-5-7--| the other guitar. I only saw the Swervies on the
E|------|-3-5--| Mezcal Head tour in '93, meaning I've never seen
                 this song played live so it's anybody's guess as
                 to who plays what..

Here's the backwards-y sounding guitar riff for the descending
chorus:-

E|---------------------|---------------------| Nearest thing to
B|---------------------|---------------------| a guitar solo in
G|-4---6-8-11--8-6-8-6-|-4---6-8-13--8-6-8-6-| the song.
D|---------------------|---------------------|
A|-2---4-6-9---6-4-6-4-|-2---4-6-11--6-4-6-4-|
E|---------------------|---------------------|

The other guitar is playing Bsus4 for this bit, and when Adam
sings the 'one for me/jaguar E' bit,then goes to A.

OK, that's it. This was from memory as I've not heard the song in
a good while (i have ESR on vinyl and me decks fucked!), therefore
this transcription, as with the others, may not be entirely
accurate. So, if there are mistakes, let us know via the message
board and I'll work out a way of correcting them. Cheers people.
