I like this track, though it's not the best off "King Of The Doghouse". Anyway, have fun!
Intro (played over various parts of the chorus and verses too - listen out for it):
e|-------8----8----------|
B|-10-11---11---11-10----|
G|--------------------10-|
D|-----------------------|
A|-----------------------|
E|-----------------------|
Play that twice on it's own through the intro, and another guitar begins to play this over it:
F A
e|---5--------5--------9---------9------|
B|-----6--------6--------10--------10---|
G|-5-----5--5-----5--9------9--9------9-|
D|--------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------|
