Musical Structure
The song is a heavy riff based track and is notable for its "behind the bridge" guitar solo. It's played in F-A#-D#-G#-C-C tuning and it opens with a natural harmonics riff on the 12th fret. It proceeds with an overdriven riff that's played during the verses. During the chorus there's a chromatic power chord progression from F to G#.
There are two official versions of the song, the single and the album track. The single version is intended to be more radio friendly. After the intro it cuts directly to the vocal verse and the solo is cut short.

“There was something refreshingly and wildly musical to my ears in the very name of the white man’s canoe, reminding me of Charlevoix and Canadian Voyageurs. The batteau is a sort of mongrel between the canoe and the boat, a fur-trader’s boat.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In the extent and proper structure of the Union, therefore, we behold a republican remedy for the diseases most incident to republican government.”
