  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: 
 
                                       Fill A

  Verse.-   w/rhy figs 1 and 1a, and fill A 
  I'm buried up to my neck in 
  contradictionary flies 
  I take pride as the king of literature
