a tool acoustic tab
there’s one i thought would never happen . it took me some time to figure
this one out , mainly because there are so many variations in this song .
also , this is how i hear it . i think its pretty much correct . to get it to
sound like the song , you’re going to have to be able to hear the rhythm
correctly . mostly it sounds like a funk song played on the acoustic .
however , i Am pretty sure that this is correct . i’ve derived the chords from
what i hear of the bass line and how they seem to be functioning in the
harmony . please let me know what you think .
tab :
intro :
G Em7
D Em7 x3
D em7x3
D7 Gmaj7
G Am Em D
we barely remember who or what came before
this precious moment , we are choosing to be here
vamp on Em
right now . hold on , stay inside
G Am Em
this holy reality , this holy experience .
Em G Am G //hit each chord just once except the last G ( twice )
choosing to be here in
D Em7 D Em7 D Em7 D Em7
this body . this body holding me . be my reminder here that i Am not alone in
this body , this body holding me , feeling eternal
Em
all this pain is an illusion .
Em D G ( several times )
around ( 2 : 30 )
interlude :
Bm7 Em7
Em7 Fmaj7 Em7 D7 Cmaj7 ( last two on para – bol )
twirling round with this familiar parabol .
spinning , weaving round each new experience .
recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this
D Em G
chance to be alive and breathing .
( around 3 : 30 )
Em D Em D ( octave higher )
there’s a riff here which you can try by playing Em7 D7 Em7 Gmaj
vamp ( muted chords ) ( around 4 : 06 )
Em7 Am D7
vamp on Em
this body holding me reminds me of my own mortality .
embrace this moment . remember . we are eternal .
all this pain is an illusion .
Em7 D7 Em7 Cmaj7
ends on harmonics ( G B E )
there are a million rhythmic variations in the song and though the chords
work , the rhythm is something youre going to have to figure out on your own .
as to some of the chord voicings , i play the main riff D at the 5th fret
and hammer on to Em7 at the 7th fret .
the chords at 3 : 30 sound nice if you just strum them once playing the triads
with the highest note on 7th ( Em ) , 5th ( D ) and 10th ( D ) frets ( two of these
voicings are also used in stairway to heaven ) .
pm me if you want something clarified .
