E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| 

Tabbed by: Dane Weber

Five-string bass in B-standard just plays the root notes. In distorted parts,
drums hit the bass drum and hi-hat in the same rhythm as the rhythm guitars.
Very simple.

If you have guitar pro, I uploaded a .gp4 version of this.

E - eighth note
S - sixteenth note
E. - dotted eighth
H. - dotted half
X - dead note, a percussive sound

Tempo: 88bpm, slow.


Clean intro: x8
Tuning: 7-string B standard
Phaser throughout, and ring modulation on fading feedback.
Time signatures: 7/8 x8, then 1/4 x1 for one play-through. Let ring.
