    The difference between Rhy fig 1 & Rhy fig 1a is that in Rhy fig 1a
    in the 3rd A5 you also play the lower strings, or in other words you play
    an A (577655) instead of an A5 power chord.
   
   
   Intro.-
     In the intro you play Rhy fig 1 or 1a several times, (alternate between 
     them, listen to the record so you can know when to play each one) about
     four, then continue playing it while a second guitar enters playing this:

    Verse.-   w/rhy figs 1 and 1a, and fill A
    I'm buried up to my neck in

    I take pride as the king of literature
