This is my first time attempting to tab out a song. This is such

a great song and i couldn't find it tabbed out so I went ahead and

did the work. The notes and chords are right for the most part i

just hope you can understand them. There is some fills and places

with feedback(in typical Tool fashion)here and there between parts

that i left out but this is basically the entire song.
