***Big thanks to martink12au for his input into creating this Tab.*** Tabbed by Robert Da Prato, 1st February, 2024 Define: B.p.m. 129 4/4 Time Signature Original Key – Gm * Single Strum ( ) Designated Riff Gm 3554XX Bb6 XX3333 Gm/C X30333 G 3554XX Gb5 244XXX G5 355XXX Gm 355333 D/F# 255XXX Gm7* 3533XX Gbm7 242222 Gm 3553XX Playing Note: D/F# should be 25xxxx but I left it as 255xxx. Just leave your fingering on the Gm chord, its just a quick change to D/F# and the sound seems to suit playing it this way. Assorted riffs used in this song shown below.

Ice cold waters runnin'     in my brain

Gm7*                     G5*
