/ Bad Religion / The Empire Strikes First (2004) / To Another Abyss guitar tab

Artist: Bad Religion
Song: To Another Abyss
Album: The Empire Strikes First

This an awesome song off The Empire Strikes First album that was a little
to difficult for me to just tab it, so I wrote out the chords to help you
guys understand the song a little bit better. You'll need to listen to the
song to figure out the strumming patterns, but it's a very easy song to play.

    G    C    D    Eb   Bb   F

G                         C
Not long ago, and yet the image is so vague
D     Eb            Bb        F
I hesitate to label it a memory
G                         C
There was a show of local color and I felt astray
D           Eb           Bb            F
Cause I had nothing to offer but insufficiency

Eb                       F
And you know that it's a bitch
         Eb                    F
When you learn to scratch that itch
   Eb               F
Of blatant fallibility
          Eb                F
Sooner to some, but eventually
         Eb                  F
All gets pointed in the same direction
                Eb                     F
While the human masses and their vague conceptions
                Eb                F
Obliterate each other with impunity
        Eb                 F        D
And you wonder, "What's in this for me?"

               G  Bb  F
To another abyss
          G  Bb  F
To no avail
    G         Bb       F
The search is bound to fail
D              G  Bb  F
To another abyss
          G  Bb  F
To no avail
   G      Bb      F
So long ago I set sail
       Eb               D
And it chills me to the bone
         C        F         G  Eb  Bb  F
That I'm so far away from home
                G  Eb  Bb  F
To another abyss

Post Chorus: Play 2x // b=bend // h=hammer on // p=pull off

   G                     C
So what should I do now? What should I celebrate?
D      Eb                Bb            F
Given finite means and a penchant to depreciate
    G                    C
How can I still avow and depend upon a state
D          Eb             Bb              F
That cares nothing for my happiness, welfare, or fate?

      Eb              F
And I know I can't explain
      Eb            F
The commotion in my brain
       Eb          F
Like a terrifying reality
       Eb                   F
Deconstructed but inadequately
         Eb                  F
All gets pointed in the same direction
                Eb                     F
While the human masses and their vague conceptions
                Eb                F
Obliterate each other with impunity
      Eb        F               D
and release the weight of history

               G  Bb  F
To another abyss
          G  Bb  F
To no avail
    G         Bb       F
The search is bound to fail
D              G  Bb  F
To another abyss
          G  Bb  F
To no avail
   G      Bb      F
So long ago I set sail
       Eb               D
And it chills me to the bone
         C        F         G  Eb  Bb  F
That I'm so far away from home
                G  Eb  Bb  F
To another abyss
   G      Eb    Bb     F  G  Eb
So long ago, so long ago
          Bb    F  G  Eb  Bb  F
Oh, I set sail
        G                 Eb
And I'm struggling on the way
        Bb              F
And I'm waiting for the day (to another abyss)
        G               Eb          Bb                 F  G  Eb
And I'm looking for the way back home (to another abyss)
   Bb      F
So far away (to another abyss)
   Bb      F                  G  Eb  Bb  F
So far away (to another abyss)
                  G  Eb
(to another abyss)
   Bb     F
So far away
                  G  Eb  Bb  F   End on: G
(to another abyss)
