"Used to be a bunch of ass-holes that lived in this part of the
building here but we systematically removed them like you would
any kind of termite or roach." - MJK

^palm mute all notes

Repeat 4 times.

"...takes longer to catch a total ass hole."

Whether these notes are in triplets or whatever, is beyond my scope of
musical knowledge. Its pretty fast and hard to hear exactly how
many times each chord structure is played so the above may not be
perfect. However, for each G chord (5-5) the first one on its own
(ie. the first of every set of 4) is attacked slightly harder than
the other three. This is needed to produce the same rhythmic effect
found on the album. You will also need to master a fast picking
style. If you can't, then you should learn how before attempting
the majority of most heavy metal songs, such as those by Metallica.

doesn't matter whats right, its only wrong if you get caught.
If consequences dictate a course of action I should,
I should play God and just ...
Shoot you myself!"

Pick these two notes together very fast, in a manner similar to
that used in figure 5, for 4 bars.
