Fruitcake by Eraserhead's Buddy Zabala

Intro

The intro starts off with just the guitars having the chord sequence

C# - G# - A# - G#
F# - F - Eb-F-F# - A

The bass would actually start in the first chorus part of the song

G|6--6------------------------6---6--|
D|----6-6-8-8-6--6-4---4-7-9--------6|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|


G|6--6-------------------------------|
D|----6-6-8-8-6--6-4---4-6-----------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|


The next part that comes can be done using the chords C# - B - F# however Buddy Z. does a rift that i haven't perfected yet that sounds like this on the first iteration


G|-----------------------------------|
D|-------------------1---------------|
A|-4-4--2-2-----0--2----2--------2---|
E|-----------2------------2-2--4---2-|


G|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-4-4--2-2--------------------------|
E|-----------2-----------------------|

The verse notes would just follow the root notes of the chords

C# - G# - Bb - G#
F#-F-Eb-F-F#-G#

You can do a variety for the 2nd iteration of the first part of the verse by doing octaves

G|-----------------------------------|
D|-8-----------6---------------------|
A|
--8-----------6--------------------|
E|
-----6-----------4-----------------|
