Written by Tool
(dropped D tuning)
I'm a huge TooL fan and after seeing how abysmally bad some of the tabs posted for TooL's songs
here, I felt the need to step in. The other jimmy tab, is disturbingly bad.
this tab was mostly cut and paste from another one on the web, but it is right. it sounds right.
Intro:
at this part, you play every twelve. you silde up to it and strum/pluck/stroke/jack/etc it.

Bridge 2:
For this part I have attempted to transcribe the guitar and the bass
riffs together so that one person could play it and still have it sound
half-way decent. The main guitar and bass riffs are also printed below
in
case anyone just wants to play one of the riffs. The best way is to
play
either both riffs together or to play the bass riff for the first part
&
when it gets louder play the guitar riff.
Main guitar riff: let all chords ring over the bassline.
