King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard - Perihelion
Transcribed by ear and by watching live videos. The tab is somewhere between how it is on the record and how 
it is played live, but I tried to stick as closely to the studio recording as I could.
The album liner notes list guitar contributions from Joey, Stu and Cookie, but I limited this tab to
two guitar tracks, which line up with what Joey and Stu play live. Cook mostly doubles Joey and adds extra
ambient sound, but with what's in this tab you can recreate guitars in the song almost perfectly.
This song has some time signature changes, I notate the time signature above each bar when it changes.
The main rhythm of the song is triplets in 4/4 (or 12/8 in straights eight notes, however you like it).
Count it like 1 & a, 2 & a, 3 & a, 4 & a, ...
