SILVERCHAIR - "Emotionsickness" Tablature
Official SILVERCHAIR Tablature & Sheet Music »
Song - Emotion Sickness
Tabber - Daniel
Alternative tuning; Open Db: Db-Ab-Db-Ab-Db-Db low to high
from standard tuning, from low to high:
* tune down the low E string to Db (3 half-steps down)
* tune down the A string to Ab (1 half-step down)
* tune down the D string to Db (1 half-step down)
* tune up the G string to Ab (1 half-step up)
* tune up the B string to Db (2 half-steps up)
* tune down the high E string to Db (3 half-steps down), so that the two strings
are the same
It is really good to play once tuned propely.
I was helped to tab this by someone very patient. (thanks)

Now dont learn this and then forget what you just played after the time i spent
tabbing this out.Enjoy.
Thanx for checking it out, not happy send hate mail to Juice_Down@bresso.com .
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 SILVERCHAIR 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.
