While you keep doing Fill 1 another guitar needs to start doing this:

*-(drums in)

--------------------------------------------------------------|

--------------------------------------------------------------|

11-11-x-x-x-11---11-11-x-x-x-x-11-11-x-x-x-11---11-11---------|

5-5-x-x-x-5---5-5-x-x-x-x-5-5-x-x-x-5---5-5-x-x-x-x-|

Then the vocals start with the "Breathe in, breathe out" stuff and you start

that main riff over again. Then the lead bit over the first chorus ("Got a

machinehead, it's better than the rest" etc.) is like so:

|-----------------|

|-4h5-5-5-4h5-5-5-| repeat and crescendo until "I walk from my machine..." etc.

|-----------------|

|-----------------|

|-----------------|

|-----------------|

I think that's it as far as tab goes.

The main chord progressions for the verses and choruses are as follows:

Verse: C# and A

Pre-chorus: ("I walk from my machine..." etc.) F# and A

Chorus: ("Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest..") E B C# A

I think that's it. If I've missed something and you can't figure it out from

what I have here, let me know (by email) and I'll get back to ya'.

Questions/comments/CONSTRUCTIVE criticism welcome (by email).

Flames intelligently rebuked (if I feel like it).

Good Luck!

Okay this is a fairly simple song (like most songs of this album)

but it sound really good

I tabbed out this song about three months or so but never posted it

(I'm lazy) but when i got the version that was on the net i saw that

mine was much better :) so i decided to post it! (it's completer)

A: ------------------------(11)------11\\7---(7)------------------------

E: ------------------------(9)-------9-\\5---(5)------------------------

ahjajahahja hajhajhahaahj (i think) :)

after you did that you just strum those same cords a couple of times

it goes something like this (guitar 2)

figure 1

e: -------------------------------------------------------------------

B: -------------------------------------------------------------------

G: -------------------------------------------------------------------

D: --11--11--x-x-x--11--11--x-x-x-x--11--11--x-x-x--11--11--x-x-x-x---

A: --11--11--x-x-x--11--11--x-x-x-x--11--11--x-x-x--11--11--x-x-x-x---

E: --5---5---x-x-x--5---5---x-x-x-x--5---5---x-x-x--5---5---x-x-x-x---

these rakes may be a little of so you'll have to listen

to the record for the exact timing (it's easy though)

okay you play this part 2 times

the second time this riff gets played VARIATON 1(guitar 1) is played over it
