'Opera Singer' by Cake - Guitar Tutorial

            “Opera Singer” - by Cake (album: Comfort Eagle)

I saw Cake play this on 2/2/02 in Atlanta, so I’m quite sure this is accurate. 

Riff 1:
e-------------------------------------9---------------------
B-------------------7--7--9--7--9--10---9--7--9--7----------
G----8--8--9--8--9------------------------------------------
D-----------------------------------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------

e-------------------------------------7---------------------
B-------------------7--7--9--7--9--10---9--7----------------
G----8--8--9--8--9---------------------------9--8-----------
D-----------------------------------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------


Riff 2:
e-----------------------------------------------------------
B-----------------------------------------------------------
G---11--9--8---------------11--9--8-------------------------
D------------9--6--8--4-------------9--6--8--9--------------
A-----------------------------------------------------------
E-----------------------------------------------------------


This is a simplistic version of what is played through a lot of the lyrics, although there are a number of other licks and riffs that are played throughout the song:

e--7--9--7--5--4----7--9--7--5--4----7--9--7--5--4----0--2--0----------0--2--0-----------
B-------------------------------------------------------------3--2-------------3--2------
G----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

e--2--4--2--------2--4--2---------7--9--7--5--4----7--9--7--5--4-------------------------
B----------5--6-----------5--6-----------------------------------------------------------
G----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
