Chords

My contribution here is definitely not 100% accurate, It should provide something decent for the song though. I probably have a mix of Dustin and Teppei in here. I welcome your criticisms, just help me correct it if you can. Please go easy on me all. :) This is my first baritone based tab. I believe only Teppei is playing a baritone. Update 2021-10-03: Redid this whole tab. Changes everywhere, due to my tone-deafness. :) Changed Power chords to Octaves I like using tabs that can follow the vocalist where possible. So I will specify the notes\chords (as named in Standard - for simplicity) and what position. Key: Em, as B Standard tuning [Intro]

  (listen for the timing, and emphasis of 1st string... seems very "computerized")

**************************************************** Looking down through armored glass Above a field of fire and ash And from this height it’s hard to even tell Just what it’s like outside the suit The terror, and the torn up roots The lives you’ve helped to make a living hell But there’s another way, To face the unforeseen You don’t have to stay, Inside of that machine
