Ok, here is some more Helmet tab. All timing is VERY approximated. Listen
to the song and follow along on the tab before you play it, because as
you know, proper rhythm and timing are everything with Helmet. Let's face
it--the music isn't that complicated. Guess that's why I'm able to
transcribe it. ;)
Anyway, crank the distortion and have fun.
INTRO:

Play INTRO, then VERSE RIFF A, then B, then repeat A and B and go to
CHORUS A. Play CHORUS A twice. Go back to VERSE RIFFS A and B, then
go to CHORUS B. Play CHORUS B four times. Go back to VERSE RIFFS A
and B. Play A and B twice. Go back to CHORUS B, play four times.
Play PART WITH NO WORDS (what should I have called it, anyway?).
Then play BRIDGE, and go to CHORUS B. Keep repeating CHORUS B
all the way thru the solo, which you can figure out yourself if you
really have the urge. Towards the end of the solo, play BRIDGE over
and over till end of song. Yay, you're done!

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 HELMET 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.
