SLIPKNOT - "Left Behind ( Live )" Tablature
Official SLIPKNOT Tablature & Sheet Music »
Title: Left Behind
Album: Iowa
Transcribed by: I. Lanza
Email: Oo SyLeNtFuRy oO@aol.com
Tuning: B,F#,B,E,G#,C#
I've always though of the Slipknot tabs as hard and advanced because of speed and
afficiantcy. This is my second Slipknot tab and my new favorite. The tuning is weird but
makes it eaiser to play. If you are not good with notes or tuning, I would suggest to
if you want on your own will to get an electric tuner to make it sound it's best. With
just the slighest flat or sharp of any note could lead to a scrapy sound. ACCURATE TUNING
IS AN ESSENCE IN THIS SONG AS WELL AS OTHER SLIPKNOT SONGS!!!
I tabbed this song to have both guitar parts so that should make some people happy. You
better make sure you have some good players in yuor band! LOL! With this song you need to
use heavy distortion and heavy strings.

Lyrics:
I know I know the faces that have disappeared in time
Find me wrapped in glass and slowly soaked in lime
All my friends have pictures made to make you cry
I've seen this and wondered what I've done to
Calcify...
(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes,I feel it all slipping away
(I come toward you)
We all got left behind,we let it all slip away
I can't stand to see your thalidomide robot face
Don't even try it! You had to be a liar just to
Infiltrate me - I'm still drowning
(I ignore you)
As I close my eyes,I feel it all slipping away
(I come toward you)
We all got left behind,we let it all slip away
Take...this...away...
I can feel it on my mouth
I can taste you on my fingers
I can hear you like the holy ghost
And kill you if you get too close

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 SLIPKNOT 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.
