 Artist: Staind
 Song:   Mudshovel
 Album:  Dysfunction/Tormented (?)
 Tabber: Goran ([email protected])

 [NOTE]: There's a cath with guitar/tuning in Staind's songs

         Here's what Mike himself says about his mean guitar:

         “On my signature baritone, I get completely stable tuning and better
         articulation with fuller tone than I could ever achieve with a standard
         guitar-no matter what tuning or how aggressively I play.” -Mike Mushok
         (Staind) MMM1

         Mike Mushok signature model guitar
         The basics:
         • Matte finished mahogany body and thru-neck provide gargantuan tone
           and sustain
         • 28” scale baritone neck offers the ability to achieve all kinds of low
           tunings
         • Super 58 pickups custom wound for baritone
         • Tuning machines feature low string posts for higher tension of the nut
         • Factory tuning is A#-F-C#-G#-D#-A#(1 to 6)

         I like this song sooo much so I decided to tab it perfectly as possible.
         I've studied all the tabs for this awesome song and figured out that the
         real tuning is Ab-Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb (low to high), just like the other
         Staind's songs. You should hear the live version from Family Values Tour
	 '99. It's even better than the studio version. Here's the tab. N-jOy.

=================================================================================

	You take away 
	I feel the same 

	You take away 
	I feel the same 
	All the promises
	You made to me you made in vain 
	I lost myself
	Inside your tainted smile again 

	'Cause you can't feel my ANGER, you can't feel my pain 
	You can't feel my torment, driving me insane 
	I can't fight these feelings, they will bring you pain 
	You can't take away, make me whole again 

	I feel betrayed 
	Stuck in your ways 
	And you rip me apart with the brutal things you say 
	I can't deal with *** anymore I just look away 

	'Cause you can't feel my ANGER, you can't feel my pain 
	You can't feel my torment, driving me insane 
	I can't fight these feelings, they will bring you pain 
	You can't take away, make me whole again 

	Mudshovel 

	You take away 
	I feel the same 
	All these promises 
	You promised only pain 
	If you take away 
	And leave me with nothing again 

	'Cause you can't feel my ANGER, you can't feel my pain 
	You can't feel my torment, driving me insane 
	I can't fight these feelings, they will bring you pain 
	You can't take away, make me whole again 

	You will feel my anger, you will feel my pain 
	You will feel my torment, driving you insane 
	I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain 
	You won't take away, I'll be whole again 

	Mudshovel
