This riff is played inbetween/while jay sings
"The stone falls from your hand..."
This is the first 'heavy' part as best I can figure.
D-7-7-7-7-9-7-7-5-7-7-7-7-9-7-7-7-3*-0*-|
A-7-7-7-7-9-7-7-5-7-7-7-7-9-7-7-7-3*-0*-|

A-2--2-4-2-0-5*--7-10-|
D-2--2-4-2-0-5*--7-10-|
^ ^ strum both 8 times.
This riff starts at 3:07 and is the end of the heavy part.
D-10-9-12-14-12-10--12-10-14-15--10-10-10-12-9-7*-|
A-10-9-12-14-12-10--12-10-14-15--10-10-10-12-9-7*-|

*= sustained note. You let the chord ring.
This is the chords played next.
They probably aren't perfect, but they're close.

This is the chords strummed over Jay's beephorn.
Also might be wrong, but close.

I think this is the last riff in the song:
G-9-9-9-9-8-8-8-8-| |-0-|> strum this, but slowly
D-7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-| |-0-|> so you can hear each string
A-7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-| |-0-|> as you agitate it
D-7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-| |-0-|> it's muted, and it's a downstroke
And that's the end of this behemoth 6:49 tune.
If you play this, and it doesn't sound right, check your tuning.
Make sure you are playing everything right.
Listen to the song for strumming pattern/speed/number of strums.
Any questions/corrections can be emailed to me at the address above.
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 TALLMAN 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.
