STAIND - "Tolerate" Tablature

Official STAIND Tablature & Sheet Music »

Artist: Staind
Song: Tolerate

Although not many people have the satisfaction of listening to Staind's previous album, "Tormented," I took it upon myself to figure out the tabs for their first track, "Tolerate." Just follow it the way it's seen and there should be no problems.
Kick up the distortion and saturation to get the real effect.
Intro(after Aaron says "It's been like this forever. No more. I hate me f*ck*ing life.") :
e|--3----|
a|--2----|
d|--4----| Repeat this 8x, then,
g|----2--|
b|----2--|
e|----1--|

e|-1-3-x-x-x-x-1-(3)-3/5--1-0-1|
a|-----------------------------|
d|-----------------------------| Repeat this 4x until 1st verse begins.
g|-----------------------------|
b|-----------------------------|
e|-----------------------------|
^I'm pretty sure this is the rift, but it's hard to tell because of the distortion in the song....but this is as close as I can get.

Verse 1 (Aaron starts, "I don't give a f*uck about all of yer problems"):
e|-1-3-x-x-x-x-1-(3)-3/5--1-0-1-1-3-x-x-x-x-1-(3)-3/5--1-0-1|
a|----------------------------------------------------------|
d|----------------------------------------------------------|
g|----------------------------------------------------------|
b|----------------------------------------------------------|
e|----------------------------------------------------------|

Then once Aaron ends the 1st sentence, Mike Mushok does this rift again:
e|-3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3-|
a|-2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2-|
d|-4--4--4--4--4--4--4--4-|
g|--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2|
b|--2--2--2--2--2--2--2--2|
e|--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1|
^Repeat these two rifts for the verse until chorus starts

Chorus:
e|-3-4-3-4-3-4-3-4-1-2---| "I....try...."

e|-3-4-3-4-3-4-3-4-1-2---| "tolerate...."

e|-3-4-3-4-3-4-3-4-1-2---| "good-bye...."

e|-3-4-3-4-3-4-3-4-1-2---| "take me....." (alternate with "emtpy")

e|-1-3-x-x-x-x-1-(3)-3/5--1-0-1| ("take me....take me....take me.....")

(After 2nd chorus)
e|-1x-x-x-x-x-x-x--3-| Play this rift in replace for the usual verse rift.
a|-----------------2-|
d|-----------------4-|
g|------------------2|
b|------------------2|
e|------------------1|

Well, that's basically it. I hope I helped a few people. If there are any questions, e-mail me at xbiladudex@aol.com using the subject: "Staindtolerate" and I'll answer them if I can. L8eR!
