Drop D (Low to High - DADGBe)
This song has two guitar parts,
Since I don't know two two apart,
I'll include whatever I can of either
In one tab.

INTRO:
D-5*-7*---8*-9*---5-7*---8*--7-|
A------------------------------|
D------------------------------|
guitar one plays this

D-0*-|-5-7-8-7*-|-------|
A-0*-|----------|-1-3-7-|
D-0*-|----------|-------|
^g2 ^g1 ^g2

D-0*-|-8-7-5-7-8-7-7-9-|
A-0*-|-----------------|
D-0*-|-----------------|

The verse riff is only one guitar,
but I can't hear it very well so I can only guess.
Here's my guess:
e---------------------------------|
B---------------------------------|
G---------------------------------|
D---------|-----------------------|
A-0-5-0---|-12-7-3-7h8p7--0-5-0---|
D-------0-|---------------------2-|
^repeat this a couple times
after all the verses.

e-----------------------|
B-----------------------|
G-----------------------|
D-0-0-3-2-1-0-3-2-1-2-2-|
A-0-0-3-2-1-0-3-2-1-2-2-|
D-0-0-3-2-1-0-3-2-1-2-2-|
this is the plam muted part after both verses.
It's close, if not correct.

This is the riff for
"And we're filtered through the sive..."
D-12*-12-12-12-12--12--12-12-12-|
A-12*-12-12-12-12--12--12-12-12-|
D-12*-12-12-12-12--12--12-12-12-|
followed by:
D-3-3-3-3-3/7-7-7-7-|
A-3-3-3-3-3/7-7-7-7-|
D-3-3-3-3-3/7-7-7-7-|

The next part is tricky, you have to get your
timing and your picking in check.
D-----------------------------------|
A-----------------------------------|
D-0-12-0-12--0-12-0-12-0-12-0-12-0--|
It's something like that followed by
D-3-3-3-3-3/7-7-7-7-|
A-3-3-3-3-3/7-7-7-7-|
D-3-3-3-3-3/7-7-7-7-|

I don't have the final riff, cause I haven't been able to figure it out...
with all the singing, drums, bass and heavy distortion,
it's virtually impossible to make out the different powerchord tones so...
hopefully the rest sounds good to you, I worked hard on it. Questions/comments/corrections can be sent to madaemanon@yahoo.com.
