Primus - Duchess and the Proverbial Mind Spread

Tabbed by Chris Rowe (dukes@epix.net).

This song is continuously switching from 5/8 time to 6/8 time, and
back.  Thus making this opening guitar part on the downbeats, and
sometimes on the upbeats.  Be careful.

Note: This is what Ler plays the 1st time around.  Its pretty much a
blue-print for the rest of the song.  He switches a couple things
around.  But, this is basically it.

That's all of that song. I missed a bit of the solo, but its hard to tab cause
its so fast. Listen to the song to get the timing.
