Hey there lads and ladies. This is my tab for 'The Regulator' by Clutch.
I've made a few corrections from the previous versions, just to include a couple of things they
have missed here and there, and give it a 'fuller' sound.
I personally love to crank this song out on my trusty acoustic - for that true rustic, sombre
mood - so my tab reflects how I play it.
This is a great song, by a great band, so enjoy learning it. :)

LYRICS:
Oh, I see that lantern, trimmed low burning in our home
And though I feel like crying, I swear tonight I'll cry no more
And how many times, have I prayed?
That I would get lost, along the way?
Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head
The regulator swinging pendulum
Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head
The regulator swinging pendulum
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Is his wallet leather? Is his wallet fat?
For not a year later it's got you lying on your back
You should have closed your windows and got another dog
You should have chained up all the doors and switched up all the locks
And how many times, have I prayed?
The angels, would speed me, away?
Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head
The regulator swinging pendulum
Dream with the feathers of angels stuffed beneath your head
The regulator swinging pendulum
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Come with me and walk the longest mile
Come with me and walk the longest mile
