This is definately one of Tool's simpler songs, but
there are a lot of little details that are easily
overlooked. This tab is pretty close, there are
one or two parts that could be played on different
parts of the neck, i just tabbed what i thought is
easiest to play. Anyways find your favorite
distortion setting and go nuts.
Tuning: Dropped D (low to high: D A D G B E)
Bass and Vocal intro
Medium Distortion
Fade in some feedback and then play this:
