key: Ab major

As always, Josh tunes his acoustic guitar one full step down (D G C F A D).
He then puts capo on the 3rd fret.
You could also just remain in standard tuning and put capo on the 1st fret.

The electric guitar plays this Beatles-esque
riff every time those 4 bars of G7 appear:
|G7--3-3---|G73-3-----|G7--3-3---|G73-3-----|
|--6-6---|6-6-----|--6-6---|6-6-----|
|--4-4---|4-4-----|--4-4---|4-4-----|

Notice that screaming
electric guitar strum:
VERSE-1: | Cm | F | Db | G7 | G7* | G7*

" Born the daughter of a comedian |--------|
Middle of the eighties
Someone turn that awful mouth-breathing down
Or else "
VERSE-2
" Sally Hatchet lives in a hole in the ground
The longer it keeps raining
The more she has to struggle to maintain a wonderful time
Oh yeah "
BRIDGE: | Eb7 | Eb7 | Fm | Db | Db |

" Go on and laugh it up without me
I've got smoke in my lungs
And a past life in the trunk
Oh "
REFRAIN
VERSE-3
" Could he rattle by the way that she empties a few clips out
Do I have a choice now?
Point that thing away from me
Lady
Oh! "
OUTRO: ||: C7 | Db | Ab | Ab :||
Here two electric guitar appear to play this insane climax with tons of vibrato.
This is noted in standard tuning, without capo.
One plays the upper note; one plays the lower note. You could play both at once.
|C78~--8~--8~--8~--|Db8~--8~--8p6-6---|Ab6h8-8~--8~--8~--|Ab8~--8~--8~--8~--|
|8~--8~--8~--8~--|8~--8~--8p6-6---|6h8-8~--8~--8~--|8~--8~--8~--8~--|

After 4 rounds, both guitars whammy one octave up and continue the part.
You could emulate this by playing the same thing up at the 20th/18th fret.
They guitars whammy back down and back up again, break away and return to this
loony part. These varations are always improvised, so you ought to do the same.
The whole climax lasts for 12 rounds and ends by resting on the Ab chords.
