Tool - Parabola
Transcribed by - Daniel Thomason ([email protected])
My favorite song off of the new CD, "Lateralus".
I'm not going to tab the whole song, since you can figure most of it out by ear
(it's Drop D, don't say you can't). I'm just doing the main riffs that you need to get through 
the song.  Oh, and the solo.
Tuning - Drop D (D, A, D, G, B, E, low to high)

Key:
h - Hammer on
b - Bend
P.M. - Palm mute
~ - Vibrato
* - Harmonic
 - Slide down

Intro/Main Riff:           Use Wah pedal
