Tabbed by Cam Joyce.
I noticed a few tabs for frizzle fry on this page already, but
simplified my version down for anyone begining to read tab or play
Primus songs.
The only icons I'll use are:
p-pop
s-slap
v-strum (Les Claypool's flamenco style)
- when nothing is indicated finger pluck
r- rest
Intro
G-7-77777---------------------
D-------0-6p50-0p-------------
A---------------------5p------
E-----------------3/5---------
Note the 50 is play together, very fast, snap your finger off the
fretboard immediately after 5, like your playing the 0 one handed. IT
SHOULD STILL BE NOTICEALBE! but just for a brief second.
Main Riff- from "never fear your safe with me"

A-----------5-x-5-x-5-x-5-----5-x-5-x-5-x-5--- bars. The x's indicate to
E-------3/5---------------3/5----------------- strum a dead note-(no noise)
From here Les goes directly into the chorus from 3/5 - 5p and from
there as if he was already playing the first bar and continuing at 8
with his flamenco style 8

G-1--------------------- No that is not a typo. The last cord, as far
