^PLAY THIS FAST TILL THE END
That's basically it to the song. All you need to do is play the parts
when they need to be played.

This is the way I have played this since I saw the Woodstock video. I have listened the song many times, and I like to play the chorus like this: g-2-4---------------2-4---------------2-4-2-1---2-4---2-4-- d-2-4---------------2-4---------------2-4-2-1-4-2-4---2-4-- a---------------------------------------------4------------ e-----2-0-2-0-2-0-2h----2-0-2-0-2-0-2h--------------2------ g---------------- d---------------- a---------------- e-2-0-2-0-2-0-2h- and back to beginning... All the notes on the E-string are slapped, and the other strings I just pick hard down with my index and middle fingers nails.

notation: ~ - hold note, maybe shake it a little? (etc) - my way of saying he repeats the same note many times \ - slide X - ghost note or no note or a note that I couldn't make out H - Hammer-on P - Pull-off (not pop... I used to think that, but I was wrong) Okay, first, go look at some other tab for Those Damn Blue Collared Tweakers. It's mostly right, like same key, and same music, hence the same name of the song. Then forget about the solo in that file, because Les makes up a new one as they are playing live.

Something I need to do? Anyhow I don't have one (a whammy bar that is), so improv with me here. After whammy bar whacking he reinvents the Star Spangled Banner Jimi Hendrix style. However, if you want to learn Hendrix's then look up the tab for that and transpose it to bass. It's fun.
