E--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--------------------

then:

G--------------------------------
D--------------------------------
A--------------------------------
E--7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-8-8-8-8-8-8-8- etc

The rest of the instrumental, where it gets really heavy, experiment
with the E F G riff an octave higher, or stick on B.

The heavy part finishes up on F, then down to E for the relaxed bit
directly before the verse.

Back to the verse, chorus, done.

i guess this song is about the political polarity of north carolina. some of sonic youth's first shows(and i think their first shows out of new york city) were in north carolina. "cradle" is the famous chapel hill venue, cat's cradle. i'm still not sure why they say that the scene is dead, especially with how sonic youth always seems to make it a point to play two nc shows when they tour.

"Cradle" = Cat's Cradle, famous venue in Chapel Hill "Jesse H." - longtime NC senator Jesse Helms "Durham H.C." - Durham is another town that's right near Chapel Hill, so is Raleigh "Char Grill" - I think that's a restaraunt..??? Definitely about the political polarity of NC and its conservative nature.

Jesse H. is the longtime NC senator Jesse Helms. Also, I live in the Triangle (It's the area that contains Durham, Chapel Hill and Raleigh, all 3 big college towns less than 30 miles apart from each other) and I don't really get this song. Though the scene here in Raleigh is pretty lame.
