/ Poison the Well / The Opposite of December (1999) / Mid-Air Love Message guitar tab

Poison The well
          "Mid Air Love Message"

        from Opposite of December

 In this intro which i feel is the most brutal 6 seconds
 of my life, play this chord steadily strummed with a real
 solid feel to get the right sound.  Oh yea, get yourself a
 REALLY good drummer to sound like that.

 The tuning by the way, calls for standard down a step
 a.k.a. (DGCFAD).

 * My symbols:
     ~ = feel it.... do somethin cool w/ it.
     . = stop it on a dime
     ^ = arpegio/strum style

Intro:

  g#m
 (f#m)

 * If i get the wrong number of sevens forgive me cause
   thats a lot of them, but its tab not music so the rhythm
   you should really hear on the song anyhow.
