SLIPKNOT - "Left Behind ( Live )" Tablature

Official SLIPKNOT Tablature & Sheet Music »

Author/Artist: Slipknot
Title: Left Behind
Album: Iowa
Transcribed by: I. Lanza
Email: Oo SyLeNtFuRy oO@aol.com
Tuning: B,F#,B,E,G#,C#

I've always though of the Slipknot tabs as hard and advanced because of speed and
afficiantcy. This is my second Slipknot tab and my new favorite. The tuning is weird but
makes it eaiser to play. If you are not good with notes or tuning, I would suggest to
if you want on your own will to get an electric tuner to make it sound it's best. With
just the slighest flat or sharp of any note could lead to a scrapy sound. ACCURATE TUNING
IS AN ESSENCE IN THIS SONG AS WELL AS OTHER SLIPKNOT SONGS!!!

I tabbed this song to have both guitar parts so that should make some people happy. You
better make sure you have some good players in yuor band! LOL! With this song you need to
use heavy distortion and heavy strings.

Lyrics:

I know I know the faces that have disappeared in time
Find me wrapped in glass and slowly soaked in lime
All my friends have pictures made to make you cry
I've seen this and wondered what I've done to
Calcify...
(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes,I feel it all slipping away
(I come toward you)
We all got left behind,we let it all slip away
I can't stand to see your thalidomide robot face
Don't even try it! You had to be a liar just to
Infiltrate me - I'm still drowning
(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes,I feel it all slipping away
(I come toward you)
We all got left behind,we let it all slip away
Take...this...away...
I can feel it on my mouth
I can taste you on my fingers
I can hear you like the holy ghost
And kill you if you get too close
