FROM CAN TO CAN'T
(by Corey Fucking Taylor, Dave Fucking Grohl, Rick Fucking Nielsen & Scott Fucking Reeder)
I know there are already some tabs of this song, but I found none very complete and/or
well organized. I tried my best here. You may either play this with a capo over the
second fret or tune your guitar to F#.C#.A.E.B.F#. The chords showed throughout the song
are based on the standard tuning, but they are done according to the capo. Awesome
fucking song.
[Intro/Verse 1]
(clean sound):

G|-----------2--5--4--3--2--|
D|--2--4--5-----------------|
A|o----------0--3--2--1--0-o|
E|--0--2--3-----------------|
[Verse 2]
It's played the same as the first Verse, but distorted. Also, along with it is played
the interlude part.
[Chorus 2]
It's analog to Verse 2. When Corey sings 'I will blur my line', the first guitar, which
was playing the Verse 1 phrases, plays along with the second the heavy part.

E|--------0--2--3-----|--0xxxx--2xxxx--3xxxx---------|
[Solo]
(I do not plan trying to write the solo down, but, anyway, I think its tone is F#m
(whether you are playing with the capo or the alternative tuning, it would be like
playing on Em). Here is only the base of it. Note that Corey starts to sing a little
before the ending of this section (if you didn't notice already, he does it in, I think, every
part of the song):
E5 F#5 G5 A5 x2

G|------------------------------| YEEEAAAH!!
D|-----------------------2xxxx--|
A|o-2xxxx--4xxxx--5xxxx--0xxxx-o|

D|-----------2--5--4--3--2--|
A|o-2--4--5--0--3--2--1--0-o|
E|--0--2--3-----------------|
[Verse 3]
(there is no more the picked part from the beginning):
E5 F#5G5 A5 C5 B5 Bb5A5 x2
e|--------------------------|
B|o------------------------o|
G|--------------------------|
D|-----------2--5--4--3--2--|
A|o-2--4--5--0--3--2--1--0-o|
E|--0--2--3-----------------|
[Chorus 3]
(there is a little breakdown in its beginning, and also a different strumming
for the first C5 and B5):
C5 B5
e|----------------------------|
B|----------------------------|
G|----------------------------|
D|--5-5-5-5-5-5--4-4-4-4-4-4--|
A|--3-3-3-3-3-3--2-2-2-2-2-2--|
E|----------------------------|
[Breakdown]
Em F#m G A C B
e|---------------------------|-------------------------|
B|----0-----0-----0-----0----|--------5-----------4~~--|
G|------0-----0-----0-----0--|------5---5-------4------|
D|---------------------------|----5-------5---4--------|
A|--------------------0------|--3-----------2----------|
E|--0-----2-----3------------|-------------------------|
(From here, heavy part (like in Chorus 2) and picked part (like in Chorus 1) are played
together. What created certain confusion for me at first is that Chorus 3 has an extra
line on it, so it is not exactly as the others)
Em F#m G A C B x2
e|---------------------------|-------------------------|
B|o---0-----0-----0-----0----|--------5-----------4~~-o|
G|------0-----0-----0-----0--|------5---5-------4------|

E|--0--2--3-----|----------------------------|
(Then it is played the clean Verse 1 too)
E5 F#5G5 A5 C5 B5 Bb5A5

(The song finishes with this. It is the same tempo, obviously, I just wrote this way to
make it more emphatic)

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Under the water
It's cold and it's grey
My torrid autumn
Another season decays
Open up the hollow
and my walls come down
I'll tell you it's a problem
Just when no one's around
[Chorus]
But then
I know what's wrong
God you complicated everything
I know you're gone, gone, gone
This is where I will draw a line
I will draw my line
[Verse 2]
Burning my cathedrals
'Cause I don't pray anymore
Look at all these people
Tragic little people
They're smiling and they don't know what for
[Chorus]
But then
I know what's wrong
God you complicated everything
I know you're gone, gone, gone
This is where I will blur my line
I will blow my line
Yeah!
[Verse 3]
Our houses are haunted
Dark and deserted
They're made of my secrets and shame
Maybe I want it
But I know I'm not worth it
I can't even tell you my name
[Chorus]
But then
I know what's wrong
God you complicated everything
I know you're wrong
God, you took it all away from me
I know you're gone, gone, gone
This is where I will cross my line
I am crossing my line
