Okay guys, this is my first tab so cut me some slack. This took a really long time to
since i didn't want it to be one of those hard-to-understand tabs
this is how he plays it on the cd but i think he simplifies it when they play live
h= hammer on
*= palm mute
x= mute
~= let it ring
t= tremolo pick
So here's the riff you hear in the intro (after the claps)
e---------------------------|
B----6---6-6--6-6-6-6-6-----|
G--7--7--6-6--6-6-6-6-6-----|
D-7-------------------------|
A---------------------------|
D---------------------------|
then
e---------------------------|
B----6---6-6--6-6-6-6-6-----|
G--7--7--6-6--6-6-7-7-7-----|
D-7-------------------------|
A---------------------------|
D---------------------------|
after this play the 1st riff again twice then
"And feel what reaches back"
e--------------------------------------|
B----------------------------6-6-6-----|
G----------------------------6-6-6-----|
D-2-0--2-0-0-2--0-2-0-2-2-0------------|
A-2-0--2-0-0-2--0-2-0-2-2-0------------|
D-2-0--2-0-0-2--0-2-0-2-2-0------------|
for the verse, its just a variation on the intro
e--------------------------|
B----6---6---6-6-6-6-------|
G--7--7--6---6-6-6-6-------|
D-7---------7-7-7----------|
A--------------------------|
D--------------------------|
then
e--------------------------|
B----6---6---6-6-6-6-------|
G--7--7--6---6-6-7-7-------|
D-7---------7-7-7----------|
A--------------------------|
D--------------------------|
after this
repeat
e--------------------------|
B----6---6---6-6-6-6-------|
G--7--7--6---6-6-6-6-------|
D-7---------7-7-7----------|
A--------------------------|
D--------------------------|
then there's another variation ('effing Nabil right?)
e--------------------------|
B----6---6---6-6-7-7-7-----|
G--7--7--6---6-6-7-7-7-----|
D-7---------7-7------------|
A--------------------------|
D--------------------------|
this part is all phased up, maybe with a little wah (not sure about the effects)
e--------------------------|
B--------------------------|
G-14-----12-----10---------|
D-xx-x8--xx-x4--xx-x4------|
A-12-----10-----08---------|
D--------------------------|
in the chorus its all on the B string, get ready for a lot of picking
(i suggest to alternate pick even if your not used to it yet)
e----------------------------|
B-13-13-13-13-10-10-10-10----|
G----------------------------| x2
D----------------------------|
A----------------------------|
D----------------------------|
e----------------------------|
B-8h10-10-10-10-10-10-10-----|
G----------------------------| x2
D----------------------------|
A----------------------------|
D----------------------------|
repeat the whole thing 3x
but on the 4th time
it goes like this
e----------------------------|
B-13-13-13-13-10-10-10-10----|
G----------------------------| x2
D----------------------------|
A----------------------------|
D----------------------------|
e----------------------------|
B-10-10-10--10-10-10-10-8----|
G----------------------------|
D----------------------------|
A----------------------------|
D----------------------------|
then
e--------------------------------------|
B-10-10-10--10-10-10-10-8-6~~~~~~~~~---|
G--------------------------------------|
D--------------------------------------|
A--------------------------------------|
D--------------------------------------|

D-7-7-7-7-7-7-7--7-7------|
A-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--5-5------|
D-------------------------|
* * * * * * * * *
t
on the 2nd time remove the tremolo picking
here its all programmed (meaning Nabil doesnt play anything)
at least i think so
"I didn't think that air could scream in resistance...."
"game over"
now you play
"A dinner party, a last chance"

Lyrics: (If you need any)
Have you ever heard a thunder bolt voice your name?
Lets all just reach our hands into the dark,
And feel what reaches back!
I stopped subscribing to you a long time ago,
But I still see you, every fucking month!
Don't get the octopus upset,
It may eat itself!
If only we could grow back our privileges.
Tunnel vision (If only i could touch your face again!)
I am not sleeping;
I'm only resting my eyes,
I'm only resting my eyes!
I didn't think that air could scream in resistance,
Until you, approached me protesting your advancement,
Don't walk any closer, don't you dare, walk any closer!
I forgot who you were...
"game over"
A dinner party, a last chance,
A love song, a bear dance.
Raising tension on your rhythmic pounding,
I knew you were scared!
Didn't think that i would play dead.
Next time come to class fully prepared.
Reply to my lines like we practiced earlier today.
Oh common don't be shy!
They'll applause to anything you have to say!
I spy YOU SPY! with my little eye.
That the desert you've deserted is a little dry.
[x3]
Dragging the moisture from the air,
I am so dry... Let me get a sip of what you
Want me to say! I am so thirsty!
Dragging the moisture from the air.
I am so dry...
