Hey guys! First tab. 
This is no shit, my favorite song of all time. I thought I'd try and work out a 
way to play it without dropping the tuning to Karnivool tune. This version can be 
played in standard. 
Is uses some pretty standard chords, but with a few little variations. I don't 
have the tab names 100% right... there are a few added or removed fingers here and 
there. Listen to the song for rhymthm, which is interesting.

Hey guys! First tab.

This is no shit, my favorite song of all time. I thought I'd try and work out a

way to play it without dropping the tuning to Karnivool tune. This version can be

played in standard.

Is uses some pretty standard chords, but with a few little variations. I don't

have the tab names 100% right... there are a few added or removed fingers here and

there. Listen to the song for rhymthm, which is interesting.
