Circles
(Here's the deal with this song: the top three strings of the guitar are tuned to drone in F, which is why you hear some extra, sort of off-key notes on the record. Basically they just kind of get hit at random with the F pedal tone. This version isn't exactly how it's fingered on the record, but it's the same notes.)

After "You rang the eskimo..." he switches to two note power chords (with the same roots) until the next chorus, which is back to the single notes. In the last "Let me get up on it" section, he plays the power chords again.
