He'd like to solve a problem with a gun
etc...... (repeat that part til outro, cello enters overtop towards end)

PEPPER - the Butthole Surfers
This tab is more or less taken from Guitar School magazine, Oct. '96.
Eventually I'll fix this up to be less messy, and, uh, stolen.
The opening riff is played at half-speed with tremolo at 16th
notes, but sounding like 8th notes. Easier to recreate with a
delay pedal.
Bends will be shown with the bent tone in brackets. Vibrato is shown
as ~~~~~~ Pull-offs and hammer-ons will be shown as p and h
Low G's are echoed by amp tremolo, not only picked once.

THERMADOR - the Butthole Surfers
Paul uses a Baritone guitar on this song (which is tuned to A
in bass range). Sadly, my Baritone guitar is in the shop, so I've
tabbed it for standard instead. Well, sort of. The chorus sounds
really strange...

back to verse riff.
for 2nd chorus, don't play final D - E. just go to solo over verse riff.
i'm not going to tab the solo... just stick between the 5th and 7th
frets and you should be okay......
the solo continues over the chorus and to the bridge...
for the bridge, just play B... the lead sorta goes:

AH-HA - the Butthole Surfers
The intro is a D chord with tremolo feeding back
E------------------------- REPEAT. Last time play: -----------------|
B------------------------- -------7-8-8-8-8-|
G--------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-- -7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-|

A--3-3-4-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-- -5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
E------------------------- -----------------|
Verse:
E Esus4 D Dsus4
E--0---0---2---3------------------------------------------| the rhythm should be fairly obvious.
B--0---0---3---3-- just go between E/Esus4/E D/Dsus4/D--|
G--1---2---2---2------------------------------------------| and repeat the D/Dsus4 bit a few times
D--2---2---0---0------------------------------------------| before the chorus...
A--2---2--------------------------------------------------|
E--0---0--------------------------------------------------|
The other guitar plays something slightly different for the D
chord, though:
E-------------------------|
B--3--3-3--3-3-3--3-3--3--|
G--2--2-2--2-2-0--0-0-----|
D--0--0-0--0-0----0-0--4--|
A-------------------------|
E-------------------------|
Chorus:
B Bsus4 D Dsus4
E----------2---3--|
B--4---5---3---3--| again, the rhythm should be obvious..
G--4---4---2---2--|
D--4---4---0---0--|
A--2---2----------|
E-----------------|
Hold the D chord after the chorus. Repeat verse.
Bridge:
E--3-3-3-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-- ----------------------|
B--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-- w/ riff: ----------------------|
G--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-5-5-5-4-4-4-4-- --5-5-4--4-4-2^4-4-0--|
D--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-- ----------------------|
A--------------------------------- ----------------------|
E--------------------------------- ----------------------|
Also, a tremolo guitar just plays G overtop the other rhythm gtr...
Verse/Chorus/Intro/Bridge (repeat bridge riff several times at end).
End on G...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
THE LORD IS A MONKEY - the Butthole Surfers
the guitar on this song sounds like its tuned a bit sharp,
sometimes the chords in the verse sound like F...
Intro riff: (w/ wah-wah)
E--7b--------------X-X-X-X--|
B------9~~---9-----X-X-X-X--|
G--------------7---X-X-X-X--|
D---------------------------|
A---------------------------|
E---------------------------|
Then, the wah-wah guitar plays this chord:
E-----
B-----
G--9--
D--9--
A--7--
E-----
And the 2nd guitar plays a lower E:
E-----
B-----
G-----
D--2--
A--2--
E--0--
Sustain those chords throughout the verses, then go back into the intro riff.
After the 2nd verse, play:
E-----------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------|
G--6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5--|

E-----------------------------------------------------------|
back to E for third verse.
then just play C# (w/out the change to C). this is followed
by a bass break where the guitars just spew forth noise...
then repeat the C# - C riff
for the 2nd bass break, the right speaker guitar plays:
E----------------------|
B--11b-10-11b-10-11~~--| w/ mucho noize from other guitars...
G----------------------|
D----------------------|
A----------------------|
E----------------------|
then another verse...
At 3:31, there's this riff, which is the same sorta rhythm as the other
one, it stays on the first chord for a long time, then switches briefly:
E-----------------------------------------------------------------|
B-----------------------------------------------------------------|
G-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-13-13-13-13--|

A--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8--8-11-11-11-11--|

Then, another wah-wah riff:
E---------------|
B--11b-11-9~~~--|
G---------------|
D---------------|
A---------------|
E---------------|
----------------------------------------------------------------------

"lead" gtr keeps playing variation on droning G riff, pretty simple.
as the passage gets more intense, improvise heavily high up neck,
picking furiously... then break off into phased arpeggiated G chord
w/ typical lead + gibby laughin' etc...
