This is a great song off of 'Leviathan' it's also my first tab so try and go easy on me. I'll also put the lyrics at the bottom just in case you want to try and sing along while playing. Artist: Mastodon Song: Seabeast Album: Leviathan Tuning: DGCFAD This is the little intro D:-------------------------------------------------------------| A: ------------------0----------------------0------------------| F: -------------10-------10-------------10------10-------------| C: ---------0------------------------0-------------------------| G: ------9------------------------9----------------------------| D: ---7------------------------7-------------------------------| D: -------------------------------------------------------------| A: ------------------0-------------------------0----------------| F: --------------13-----13-----------------13------13-----------| C: -----------0-------------------------0-----------------------| G: -------12-------------------------12-------------------------| D: ---10-------------------------10-----------------------------| Here's the little solo that Brent does at the beginning.

Please knock me down, can I help you in? When I'm not around let us all be found in certain ways Dear Mr. Queequeg, you have been informed your life's been saved You are not a black-hearted vicious mess so it has been claimed If this is the beast Pulling us towards the east with mighty waves Let us look inside And pull out all your pride, you know it's up to us Holding pasts in ash black earth Bound by roots Roots into sand Grow towards the giver There's an open wound Placed upon my heart, in anger's rage If we open up a spirit, a spirit that can bleed Ahab the leading lad we can trust his obsession carries them Meet us at the temple Healing all the crippled, don't forget the maimed Lower soul Sent with gifts offering Teeth of hope travel with Child laid next to mother If you have any questions feel free to email me at [email protected]
