Big Ringing Intro Chords:
 
I wont tab the rythym here, just listen to the song. The trick here
is to listen how Starcrunch strikes a chord, pauses, strikes it again,
then immediately slides the whole chord upto (or down to) the next one.

Power Chords:
Again, no rythym notated here. Start with the A & C chords then
switch to an octave aproach for the D & E...

Riff A: (No you are not seeing notes on the 32nd or 20th fret...
         The picking is very fast and subtle and I am sure I am
         not tabbing every exact note. I ran some of the notes
         together to try to indicate timing without wasting a
         lot of space.)

                                                  * 14th fret ???
 
Repeat Riff A again and this time end with the Power Chords.
 
Riff B: (Just Riff A up an octave - a surf idiom!)
