Parabola

By Tool

Track 7 on the album Lateralus

?

From Kramer (ckramer@milwpc.com)

I tabbed it myself, my first tab, send me any corrections.

It sounds right to me, but all I have is a massive acoustic

to work with.? The strings are thicker than my forearms and

a baby could rest comfortably between the 2nd and 3rd frets.

It's hard to play.? So bear with me.

?

It works fine in drop d tuning (DADGBE) but it's actually not.

4/4 time

?

PLEASE NOTE all numbers are single digit unless otherwise indicated

--20-- means two, zero; NOT twenty

?

I'm not going to put in slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs,

etc. because they mess up the rhythm and you can figure

them out yourself pretty easily.
