←
# This is a tab of how I play it here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZxXW4_UTPw
This intro is very simplified.
A||----0-4-0---0---0----|
E||--2-------2---0------|
C||---------------------
G||---------------------|
A||----0-4-0---0---0----|
E||--0-------0---2------|
C||---------------------|
G||---------------------|
# Then,
Am, C, G Em fingerpicked. On the Em, strum it once, then do:
A||--2s5-5-------------|
E||--3s5-5-------------|
C||--------------------|
G||--------------------|
^^Repeat that at least twice. Then go in to the singing part.
Am C G Em
Life it seems will fade away, drifting further every day.
Am C G Em
Getting lost within myself, nothing matters, no one else.
Am C G Em
I have lost the will to live, simply nothing more to give.
Am C G
There is nothing more for me. Need the end to set
E
me free
Then there's the heavy instrumental. I do it like this.
# A, C, A, D, E
# I use these shapes for D and E:
A||---5----7--------|
E||---5----8--------|
C||---6----9--------|
G||---7----9--------|
# Then A, C, A, G, F#, E
Do the G to F# then E like this:
A||---2----1----2---|
E||---3----2----4---|
C||---2----1----4---|
G||---3----2----4---|
Repeat that instrumental twice. Then the next verse.
Am C G Em
Things not what they used to be, missing one inside of me.
Am C G Em
Deathly lost, this can't be real, cannot stand this hell I feel.
Am C G Em
Emptiness is filling me, to the point of agony.
Am C G
Growing darkness taking dawn, I was me, but
E
now he's gone
Instrumental again. Repeat.
Then the bridge. I've simplified it very much:
D F
No one but me can save myself but it's too late
D F
Now I can't think, think why I should even try.
D F
Yesterday seems as though it never existed
D F
Death greats me warm, now I will just say goodbye.
# At this point, I just repeat the Am, C, G, Em fingerpicking part of the
# intro. I'm no Kirk Hammet.
# Hope you found this helpful.
