Please send feedback. Should I ever tab again, should I die? Or did you

kindof like it?

Okay, well I'm not posting this in the false pretense that I have it a

100% correct or 100% complete, but I think I accurately transcribed a

large amount of this song, definently enough to cover it. I hope you enjoy

it. This uses two guitars but you can figure out when to play the parts

just by listening.

Standard Tuning

Opening Riff:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

--------14--14--9--9--10--10--12--12--10--10--9--9--3--3---------------

12--12-----------------------------------------------------------------

Onto the heavy! *this can be played with double strokes or not*

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

-2--14--9--10--12--10--9--5--------------------------------------------

-0--12--7--8---10--8---7--3--------------------------------------------

Next Stanza: Some out of tune sounding chord that is cool but I'm not

sure if I figured it out right, this is how I play it.

[Repeat 4 times, on 4th time use only 3 string scratches]

Enter Lyrics: This part makes you sound really cool (even if you aren't) :P

Palm Mute is pretty heavy so that the bass really hums.

After a few stanzas the first solo joins in with the verse section. Then

it moves back to the heavy part (wee!!) with a few extra string scratches in

there, I'm sure you can figure it out.

Okay this next part is the most iffy of my transcription, but I know the

notes I have are rights, it's all the damn mutes that make it a litte rough.

I think this sounds right though, you slide between these chords.

Starts with 8 string mutes and then

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

----98--87--76---65-----X--X--X--X--2----X--X--X--X--2---------------

----76--65--54---43-----X--X--X--X--0----X--X--X--X--0---------------

Add some mutes in there, lol.

Now go back to that rather Odd chord I mentioned before, the 3rd section.

Last section
