-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: [travis]
***December 28, 2009: R.I.P. Jimmy "The R.E.V." Sullivan. You will be missed. ***
Tuning: Drop D (D A D G B E)
Key:
x= muted string
b= bend
...= palm mute

###= hand slide
h= hammer on
p= pull off
r()= bring bent note back to note in ()s.
*This tab is only tabbed out for the distorted guitar. It doesn't include
the solo, that's in the other tab I posted. This is probably the only easy
tab of this song that you'll get.*
*Also note that the lyrics are not written directly each chord correctly. This
is to show you what part that riff is for.* The +++++++s are to divide each
section up.
*Basically all the chords are strummed slowly, even if closed together. Listen
to the song to get the feel of it.
Guitar 1:
Intro: Clean tone with chorus effect:
e|-------------------------0---1-|
B|-2----1----3---------3---------|
G|-0---------0----0----0---0---2-|
D|------3----------------------0-|
A|----------------3----1---3-----|
D|-------------------------------|
For this part, play with your fingers. Those notes are played at different times, where,
there's no drums or bass. Basically for this part: "Seize the day or die regretting
the time you lost. It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over."
