HELMET
HE FEELS BAD

Ok, here is some more Helmet tab. All timing is VERY approximated. Listen
to the song and follow along on the tab before you play it, because as
you know, proper rhythm and timing are everything with Helmet. Let's face
it--the music isn't that complicated. Guess that's why I'm able to
transcribe it. ;)
Anyway, crank the distortion and have fun.
INTRO:

Play INTRO, then VERSE RIFF A, then B, then repeat A and B and go to
CHORUS A. Play CHORUS A twice. Go back to VERSE RIFFS A and B, then
go to CHORUS B. Play CHORUS B four times. Go back to VERSE RIFFS A
and B. Play A and B twice. Go back to CHORUS B, play four times.
Play PART WITH NO WORDS (what should I have called it, anyway?).
Then play BRIDGE, and go to CHORUS B. Keep repeating CHORUS B
all the way thru the solo, which you can figure out yourself if you
really have the urge. Towards the end of the solo, play BRIDGE over
and over till end of song. Yay, you're done!
