Hmmm. Anyway, I've tabbed it. Yum. For comments, corrections, deceased cows,

Notes
~~~~~
It's been pretty hard to figure out guitar 2 (with my luck there probably isn't
one), so I've put what I can remember from the mix I've heard from "On the Side
of Angels", e.g. riff 7, which that version opens with.
Riff 5 comes in on top of the last bit of 4 (the bit at the end which repeats
twice- it's played on the second of those). I think I'm right in saying that 5
is played by guitar 2. We can only hope.
On riff 6, you can pop in a few hammer-on's if you feel the need. I know I do
sometimes.
Finally, there is "Madame Razor" playing chords throughout the song, and I
think that she/it may mirror the chorus guitar. The chords are more noticeable
on the mixed version, however.
Anyway, swiftly moving on...
Lyrics
~~~~~~
To stand mortified
Deceit can't hide the error inside
The words you say
Don't stand they fall
Amomgst the tangled lies you make
Believe it's true convince yourself
It's me not you
That delivers pain and comes between
Tonight- shame me with the thoughts I am denied
Tonight- shame me, shame me
Or leave me for dead...
It's natural, to feel like this
Remember times when nights are long
I've lost the means to carry on
I think it's time to realise
There's no time left no time at all
So take what's mine I want what's yours
Tonight...
-oOo-
Look's like a severe case of Eldritch Sentence Emulation Blues to me (Hmm
pondered the Doktor).

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 ROSETTA STONE 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.
