Tab for guitar transcribed by Ben Wilkinson (benwilko_faster@yahoo.com)
This is the basic outline for the clean guitar part. There are other
guitars being played with screwdrivers, and one of the basses plays
high melodies. Not every chord I've tabbed is strummed. There are times
when one isn't strummed, and times when chords are strummed more times
than I have tabbed. Notes of the chords are plucked between changes,
you can work out which ones :op Also, there is no strict tempo to begin with so
basically it is being played freely and slowly. The first 1 minute and
10 seconds is just a spoken word sample. I haven't tabbed the whole twelve
minute movement, just the fantastic and intricate chords that are played
throughout the first five or six minutes.
KEY: p = pull off
X = mute (with left hand/finger)
eg -11- = fret eleven (not fret one then one again - no patronisation intended!) :oD

That's your lot! The overdrive kicks in now and the

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
