Chords

----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Mr Moobly So, this is an awesome song from the EP 'See You All in Hell' and featured on the new album 'Conduit'. It's a great song which is easy and good fun to play once you've figured this out. Listen with the song to get the feel for the rhythm. The only part I haven't figured out is the mini solo part that plays during the chorus. The rest is all here :) Intro 1:

Then (guitar 1) end with:
eb|-----------|
Bb|-----------|
Gb|-----------|
Db|-2~--------|
Ab|-2~--------|

Hold this chord whilst guitar 2 plays the open E for 4 bars before going into a variation on the verse (played three times):

Db|-10\7-------7/9----------------------------------------------------------|

(PM)     . .       . .    .   .          . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
End this section with:
eb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|--10\7-------7/9---------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|--8\-5-------5/7---------------5-8-5--2----------------------------------|
Eb|--------0-0-------0-0--3-0-5-0--------0-000-0-0-000-0-0-000-0-0----------|
(PM)       . .       . .    .   .          ... . . ... . . ... . .
Now both guitars play this breakdown. It's pretty much the same as the verse and previous part, but it's got a really chug to the PM notes which is why I play the A string too:
