I know that Failure plays in half-step tuning, but you don't necessarily need it to play this song. Besides, 
the song is fairly slow-paced and transposing shouldn't really be much of a challenge here. On top of that, 
the whole song follows the same chord progression. 
[Intro]
Here is the piano riff tabbed out for guitar. Keep in mind that the piano on the recording is either out of 
tune or purposefully de-tuned for that creepy effect; so keep in mind that the pitches won't line up exactly 
with what you hear on the recording.

If you want a tab for the solo, there is already one on UG that is at least 95% accurate.
