Tabbed by:Michael Fiebig
This song has to be played with heavy-ass
distortion....while tabbing it I only had an
acustic guitar, with no distortion,that means
there might actually be a lot of mistakes.
But this sounded kinda right to me.
If you have any suggestions, or the tab for
to the solo...feel free to mail me.
This song I think is played in a dropped D tuning
The intro part:
E|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|-----------------------------------------|
D|--2b----2b-----------2b----2b--------|
A|--2b----2b-----------2b----2b--------|
D|--2b----2b-----------2b----2b--------|
When the drums kick in: (I think you call this a bridge)
always play thins when he sings:"the laughing man..."
E-------------------------------
B--------------------------------
G.------------------------------------
D------------------------------------
A--2b--0---2b--0--2b--|--2b--0--2b-0---2b-|
D--2b--0---2b--0--2b--|--2b--0--2b-0---2b-|
keep on playing that until the
the verse. There you play this:
E---------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------
A--2---6-5--0--2--4--2--0--|--2--6-5-0-2-4-2-0-|-
D--2---6-5--0--2--4--2--0--|--2--6-5-0-2-4-2-0-|-
And so on.....
Chorus:("As the needle...")
E----------------------------------
B--12----11------9----7----------
G----------------------------------
D----------------------------------
A----------------------------------
D----------------------------------
Let the notes ring,or play them as often as you like.
You'll have to listen to the song a few times to get the parts right...
I haven't quite been able ,yet, to tab the solo...
if anyone has got an idea how to play that one...
(as I mentioned earlier)...mail me...or put it out by
yourself.
If you do decide to write me,then please write me to:

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 IOMMI 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.
