Key:
h - hammer-on
p - pull-off
b - bend string up
() - Grace note
The whole intro is played very lively and loose. Just play along and you will see what
I'm talking about. It's just funny to listen to.
Jack plays this, on acoustic guitar, standard tuning:
Jack? Yea? Do you think some people, do you think theres some...

Kyle: Living among us...
Jack: No
Kyle: That we can't tell
Jack: No, we don't have the technology yet, but...
Kyle on acoustic (or at least I think so, it may be Jack), lightly palm muted:

E----------7--5h7-5-3-0---0-3-----------0-(0)--13-12-----
Jack: Rage, Rage... Rage
Kyle: Yea?
Jack: You know what I was thinking? Stop playing
Jack: I was thinkin of a fucking brilliant song
Kyle: Yeah?
Jack: Check it out, Just do what I do
Kyle: Okay
Jack: Just play this note
Now comes the main part of the song, it's basically both of them playing this. Kyle plays
everything an 8th late. Since he plays it that way, and They play the note every quarter,
it's continuous. The speed ascends as they play:

This is where the guitar ends. The rest is the lyrics from the beginning.
Kyle: Jack
Jack: Yeah?
Kyle: Do you think some people-Do you think there's some people that aren't really...
that're actually robots? Living among us?
Jack: No
Kyle: That we can't tell?
Jack: No, we don't have the technology yet, but Rage, Rage,.. Rage
Kyle: Yeah?
Jack: Stop playing... I was thinkin of a fucking brilliant song
Kyle: Yeah?
Jack: Check it out, just do what I do
Kyle: Okay
Jack: Just play this note
Jack: And then we both keep-Just keep both playing that note... Every once in a while
bend it... And that's it, just remember who wrote that song, me baby me! See, it's fuckin
simple, that's one song in the bank... Next song, Next song! NEXT!
Kyle: But that's one note, anybody could have done that... Anybody could have wrote it
Jack: Yeah but guess who did write it? ME!
Kyle: Yeah but did you write this? (Bends note)
Jack: Dude I did! I told you to do the bending everyone once in a while!
Kyle: Oh shit you did
Jack: I did! I win! I win! One to nothing!
