Primus - The Pressman

Tabbed by EDO.


Main riff:

G----00--0--0-x------
D----55--6--5-x------
A--------------------
E--------------------

Instead of plucking the dead notes(x)percussively tap your hand on the
strings.

Repeat the main riff 20 times and at 00:46 where the lyrics are-How
much impact shall I have this time? etc.

The verse section begins.

G----00--0--0--9-slide-12----
D----55--6--5-------------9--
A----------------------------
E----------------------------  Repeat this 4 times

At 0:55 he plays the end of the verse

G----00--0--0--5-4---
D----55--6--0--5-4---
A--------------------
E-------------------- Play this 4 times and end with the main riff.

The rest of the song is pretty much structured the same way.
