	Opening riff: Played with first finger + thumb, classical guitar 
style, but using your first and third fingers sound okay, too. 
Fairly fast. alternate between the first measure and
the last fill until you want to start the main riff.  The Main riff is
used throughout the song, except for a little interlude where he does 4 
finger tapping. ???

"Tommy The Cat" from "Sailing The Seas Of Cheese"

	This was played on "Suck On This" on a four, but I haven't gotten
a tab of that yet.  This is the version from "Sailing..." arranged for a 
four string.  This sounds OK, but he varies it with ad lib so much, I 
can't possibly write all the variables.

Guitar World Version:

|-9---------X--------5----------------|
|-9---------X-4-5h-----5---5-------0--|
|------------------0-----5------------|
|----X-3-5h------------------3-0h-----|

My favorite version:

|------------------5-5-555-|
|---X-X-0-2----------------|

	The interlude is really just adlib, with the guitar adding in, so 
it's even harder to tell what the bass is playing.
