what I got is precious time...
and there you have it, durring the solo just play the verse bit, and on the outro
play the chorus riff. I think robin plays in in drop-D tuning though, so instead
of
a: ---- ... play a: ----... and such.

Lyrics:
It don't really matter
Gonna find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
You're gonna leave these thing to
Somebody else
If they were missionaries
Real time visionaries
Sitting in a Chinese stew
To view my dis-infatu-ation
I know that I'm a classic case
Watch my disenchanted face
Blame it on the Falun Gong*
They've seen the end and you can't hold on now
Cause it would take a lot more hate than you
To stop the fascination
Even with an iron fist
More then you got to rule the nation
All I got is precious time
It don't really matter
You're gonna find out for yourself
No it don't really matter
So you can hear now from
Somebody else
Cause it would take a lot more time than you
I've got more masturbation
Even with your iron fist
More then you got to rule the nation
All I got is precious time
More then you got to rule the nation
All I got is precious time
It don't really matter
Gonna keep it to myself
No it don't really matter
So you can hear it now from
Somebody else
You think you got it all locked up inside
And if you beat them all up they'll die
Then you'll walk them home for the cells
Then now you'll dig for your road back to hell
And with your ? makes you stop
As if your eyes were their eyes you can tell
When you out of time...
Thanks alot, and please, any questions or comments or you want to talk gnr or any

I imagine he uses some sort of octave shifter on the 17, 20, 22.
Just slide up from an octave lower on each note respectively.

This is my first complete Tab. It was hell of a work, this should be nearly 100 %
and you can play along with the record. Hear the record to get a feeling for the exact
vibrato and the slides.
This great song here took me some hours to tab it out, if you find any wrong parts or
any suggestions, please send me your corrections and - very important to me - please rate
tab!
The "|" marks are showing no timeframe I added them just for orientation reasons. I
that with this way single parts which are repeating are better visible.

For the next lick you need in addition a switch on your guitar to turn the note on and
(or a pedal), without it doesn't sound that crazy like buckethead plays it, but it sounds
good if you bend the 12th fret on the G string and start at the high pitch to play
fast down-up strokes (really fast alternate picking).
