gtr2 does this  all 5 times with the first bit then does it only 4 times with the second bit.

(he does this right after the first gtr  but youll figure it out if you've heard it)

THIS PART HERE IS REALLY BASS BUT THIS IS IT TABBED OUT FOR GUITAR IF YOUR PLAYIN ALONE.

|---------------------------------------------|

|---------------------------------------------|

|---------------------------------------------|

|-12--11--10--9-------------12----------------|so that would make it  9x RIGHT?

|---------------------10--9-------------------|      

|---------------------------------------10--9-|

gtr 2



Ok for this part you do the chord 5&7 in that bar the first time and for 2nd time you

do it with the 2&4 chord at the end of it instead of the 7&5.and the alternate

|--0--3--2--1--0--3--2--1--0--3--2--1--0--3--2-|-5-|----|



this part is the 1st guitar and it comes rite after the second guitar is done that last riff

so listen or yull miss it!!

gtr1

|-2-----5----2----5----9--7-------------        2x letting it RING OUT

|-2-----5----2----5----9--7-------------

gtr2 plys this along with gtr 1

|--8----7--------7-8-----7-------------------

|-----9----7--9-------9-----7-9-------ok you play this monster 16x FAST along wit that last 1

gtr 1

(this is the chorus too but for now u just play it through)

|--0-0-0--3--0-0-5----0-0-0-3--0-0-0---2-1----



Verse let ring out and each chord changes at the first of every line of lyrics

|-2-----------------5---------|---2--------5-------10-----7------

|-2-----------------5---------|---2--------5-------10-----7------

|-0-----------------3---------|---0--------3-------8------5------

DO CHORUS,THEN,

this part is between the 1st and 2nd verse im workin on gtr 2 but this is

gtr1

|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|-2----2----2----5--5-5-5-5--5-5-5-2----9----2----2----2----5--5-5-5-5--5-5-5-2-----5------------------

|-0----0----0----3--3-3-3-3--3-3-3-0----7----0----0----0----3--3-3-3-3--3-3-3-0-----7------------------

GO RIGHT INTO VERSE 2 AND THEN DO THE CHORUS AGAIN.THEN,



outro

|-----------------------------------------------------

|-----------------------------------------------------

|-----------------------------------------------------

|-9----11--11------9----11---11---12---12-------------

|-7-----9---9------7----9----9----10---10-------------

|-0----------------0----------------------------------

then while gtr1 is doin this outro gtr2 does some high screeching stuff

up on the 22 fret that sounds kinda like a horse but it would be almost

impossible to figure it out.

w/Rhy. Fig. 2 

   Am                  C            G               Em 

1. Life it seems will fade away,      drifting further every day. 

2. Things not what they used to be,      missing one inside of me. 

 

   Am                  C            G               Em 

1. Getting lost within myself,            nothing matters, no one else. 

2. Deathly lost, this can't be real,      cannot stand this hell I feel.

   Am                  C            G               Em 

1. I have lost the will to live,      simply nothing more to give. 

2. Emptiness is filling me,            to the point of agony. 

 

   Am                  C            G 

1. There is nothing more for me.      Need the end to set__ 

2. Growing darkness taking dawn,      I was me, but now__
