ok, heres the weird part, right here they drop the low Eb down to Db they use D-tuners

but the way i do it is pluck the Eb and the Db together and just match the Eb to the

tone of the Db. the rest of the song uses this alternate tuning

thats the music, you have yo figure out how many times to play each riff.

i put the lyrics in here too.

Lyrics:

I try to imagine the best place I've been

Can I go back again?

Open my eyes, what was no longer exists,

I can't go back again

I like to pretend that nothing has changed

And never went too far

But it started to lose me like a four-hour movie

I'd already seen

Holding onto my memory of what this used to be

Holding onto my memory of you

Sometimes I tell myself that things are O.K.

Another lie but it makes me feel better

Never as old as I was today

I'm gonna breakdown

In American Pompeii

In American Pompeii

Break myself just to live this way

Never as old, as I was today

American Pompeii

Look in my eyes and see how sick I feel

About what you've become

Filthy and twisted like you never existed

I know what you were

Your beauty forgotten under mountains of schism

I don't want to climb

Giving up my memory of what this used to be

Giving up my memory of you

Sometimes I tell myself that things are O.K.

Another lie but it makes me feel better

Never as old as I was today

I'm gonna breakdown

In American Pompeii

In American Pompeii

Break myself just to live this way

Never as old, as I was today

American Pompeii

Try to imagine the best place I've been

Can I go back again

Open my eyes it just no longer exists

I can't go back again

I'm giving up my memory of what this used to be

Giving up my memory of you
