Standard 5-string tuning - BEADG
I know Sikth don't play in standard tuning, but if you've got a 5/6 string then you
need to detune. If you've only got a 4 string, then you're gonna have to tune to C. There
a fair few parts/variants of parts to this song, so bear with me whilst learning it...

Pretty easy song to play. Just watch out for some of the rhythms - I've tried to include
(more or less), but you'll really have to listen to the song to get the exact timing.
that this tab looks pretty long, just that James rarely plays the same thing twice, yet
in various variants to it, such as part b(i) and (ii). Anyway, if you follow this you
be able to play the song pretty much exactly as he plays it.
Good luck.
