Pictures of Success Guitar Tablature
the guitar and bass start off like this, bass doesn't do second string work.

-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
------------------------------------- Repeat twice
-------------------------------------
----5---5---5---5---5---5---5---5----
--2---2---3---3---7---7---5---5------

then this is the natural harmonics part.
--------------------------------------
----7-------7-------7---------7-------
--------7-------7-------7---------7---  Repeat several times
------7---7---7---7---7---7-7---7-----
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------


the guitar does this:
--------------------------------------5-------
-7---7---7---5-7-5------7---7---7-7-8---8-7-5-
---7---7---7-------7------7---7---------------
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------
-7---7---------------------------------------------
---7---7-------------------------------------------
----------/9-7-7-7-/9-7----------------------------
------------------------10-9-5----5-7-5-7/9-10-9-7-
---------------------------------------------------

then right to this:
----------------------------------------------------
10p8p7--10p8p7-----(7)-----10p8p7-------------------
---------------(7)-----(7)----------7/97----------- Repeat
------------------------------------------7/97/97- 
----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
there are two guitars on this song and they don't always play it the same, sometimes they play the notes in parenthesis and then sometimes they don't..


this is the little thing right before the singing:
--------------------------
--------------------------
-------0------------------
---------4-0-0-----7/97--
--------------------------
-3-3-3--------------------

that's it, just go through the different parts!


for the chorus, you can try a few natural harmonic parts and perhaps a little slide for the guitar on the "hospitals and freeways" parts, but it won't sound perfectly correct:
--------/////14------------
---------------------------
----7----------------------
------7--------------------
---------------------------
--------------------------

"they say CA" ... up through the "ready to go" these frets sound right.
The little mini-solo thing near the end is:

14-14-14-12-14-12-14-15-- (high E string) repeat 3x

17-17-17-19-19-19-21-21-21-22-22-22- (high E string)
