------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Strange Loop - Every Time I Die ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Tom O. E-mail: Comment with revisions/praise First off, this song is a RIPPER. Real fast - toughest part for me is the double palm mutes in between the power chords. Somebody please post a youtube video using the tab and let me know - just because I tabbed it out doesn't mean I'm good enough to make it sound even remotely like ETID. Also, I don't know the lyrics - those are guesses. To ETID: Best band of all time - call me for the next NSFW music video. Tuning: Drop D Palm Mute: .
