		       The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Chris Powers

Email: shock-wave@sbcglobal.net

Key: E Minor Pentatonic (with some blues/funk flair)

BPM: 100

Tuning: Drop D



Hope you all love it, and if anyone covers it, please show me, I'd love to see it. Send

questions or random fortune cookie quotes my way at CanasClone@gmail.com. This was all

by yours truly, CanasClone.



Legend at the end.



NOTE: This is one guitar format, but Buckethead has two guitars on this, or at least two

outputs with different effects. In other words, this first part and the weird bend part

01:46 aren't going to sound the same because the muted notes and semi-harmonic notes are 

tones.

^For this slide he either uses a 23 or 24 frettered guitar and slides the b string or

a digitec whammy pedal. Probably the pedal since he's usually on a Les Paul. Seeing as I'm

a Les Paul, this is written for 22 frets.
