"Blood Witch" by the Melvins

DROP D TUNING!!!

The first 2/3 of the song revolves around this rhythm:
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------|
|--0------0---0-0-----0-0-0------0-0------0---0-0----0-0-0----|
|--0------0---0-0-----0-0-0------0-0------0---0-0----0-0-0----|
|--0------0---0-0-----0-0-0------0-0------0---0-0----0-0-0----|
It's a weird rhythm to get used to.
I think of it as groups of 1, 2's, and 3's
   1      1     2       3         2       1     2      3
(I hope that helps and doesn't confuse you even more)
The rest is easy but there's a lot of distinct parts that you have to pay close 
attention to so as not to get lost.

                      1: Right in the blood         Maybe it's alive
                      2: Worse on their own         Bottom of the world
                      3: Nothing will be worse      We have learned to think

PRE-CHORUS 1:

|--0------0---0-0-----0-0-0------5----|
|--0------0---0-0-----0-0-0------3----|

Then another verse cycle with this line:
        The mouths and the needs,               how will we breath?
and they like it

PRE-CHORUS 2 is a variation of the first one
