 +After watching John play this song, I have been able to figure out exactly what he plays (at least during live performances).
 +
 +Tuning: Drop D (DADGBe)
 +
 +Generally you want to play all 6 strings at once, letting the low D ring out.  The main riff is as follows:
 +
 +                           Dsus D    Asus D    Asus D    G                                     A
 +e--2(2)--2-2-2-2-2(2)--2-2-2-2-3(3)-2(2)-0(0)-2(2)-0(0)-2(2)-3(3)--3-3-3-3-3(3)--3-3-3-3-0(0)--0-0-0-0-0(0)--
 +B--3(3)--3-3-3-3-3(3)--3-3-3-3-3(3)-3(3)-3(3)-3(3)-3(3)-3(3)-3(3)--3-3-3-3-3(3)--3-3-3-3-2(2)--2-2-2-2-2(2)--
 +G--2(2)--2-2-2-2-2(2)--2-2-2-2-2(2)-2(2)-2(2)-2(2)-2(2)-2(2)-0(0)--0-0-0-0-0(0)--0-0-0-0-2(2)--2-2-2-2-2(2)-- etc.
 +D--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)--0-0-0-0-2(2)--2-2-2-2-2(2)--
 +A--0(0)--0-0-0-0-0(0)--0-0-0-0-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)-0(0)-2(2)--2-2-2-2-2(2)--2-2-2-2-2(2)--0-0-0-0-0(0)--
 +D--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)--

 +John starts with a quiet D G A progression, to set the mood for some banter about the interesting background of the song.
 +
 +Coming into the lyrics:
 +
 +    D
 +the best ever death metal band out of denton
 +                                A
 +were a couple of guys, who'd been friends since grade school.
 +D
 +one was named cyrus, and the other was jeff.
 +                                        A
 +and they practiced twice a week in jeff's bedroom.
 +
 +-MAIN RIFF x2-
 +
 +    D
 +the best ever death metal band out of denton
 +G                      A
 +    never settled on a name.
 +        D               
 +but the top three contenders, some of which have now been used,
 +                            A                          (into main riff)
 +were satan's fingers, and the killers, and the hospital bombers!
 +
 +-REPEAT MAIN RIFF-
 +
 +                       
 +jeff and cyrus believed in their hearts they were headed
 +    G                               A
 +for stage lights and leer jets, and fortune and fame.
 +      D
 +so in script that made prominent use of a pentagram,
 +                                 A
 +they stenciled their drumheads and guitars with their names.
 +    G                      A
 +and this was how cyrus got sent to the school in Utah
 +                                G
 +where they told him he'd never be famous.
 +    G
 +and this was why jeff, 
 +                               D
 +in the letters he'd write to his friend,
 +                 G
 +helped develop a plan to get even.
 +         D
 +when you punish a person for dreaming his dream,
 +      G                         A
 +don't expect him to thank or forgive you.
 +    D
 +the best ever death metal band out of denton
 +        G                        A        (mute all strings)
 +will in time both outpace and outlive you!
 +     D
 +hail satan!
 +            A
 +hail satan, tonight!
 +     D
 +hail satan!
 +                           
 +hail hail, hail, hail, hail, hail
 +
 +
 +From that last D, you can either go straight into the Main Riff, or use another normal D G A first (with a bit more intensity) and 
 +then go into the Main Riff.  John prefers the latter, but I like to go straight into the riff and then repeat it a second time.

 On the recording, I believe John plays this with the top E string tuned a major second lower (to D) to get that droney open sound. On the recording, I believe John plays this with the top E string tuned a major second lower (to D) to get that droney open sound.
