Whiplash caught the silver son...
The song is realy in Dog man star style, no drums, a lot of piano, and plenty of wierd effects.
I'm ging to transcribe the piano sections so they can be played on a guitar.
Piano 1 : this enters the verse after Bret sings "...and left us here"
for the first time (on the "here" to be precise)
e:|---------------------------------------------------| B:|--15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-16--| G:|--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--| D:|---------------------------------------------------| A:|---------------------------------------------------| E:|---------------------------------------------------|

* there are variations afterwards that are not so hard to hear,
so figure them out for yourself
Piano thingy 2 : enters after the second "...and left us here"

Piano thingy 3 : I'm gonna tab it for an octave down,
because it's easier to play it that way

Bare end: an explosion sound and wacky piano sample that's impossible to play on a guitar
The song by itself is not so complicated, but tabbing it was preaty hard and complicated.
I hope it won't confuse you. :)
