tabbed by Pavel Doujnikov for 
Slipknot - 3DBlasphemy (http://3dblasphemy.genxer.net)...

This song is real freaky and I love it. Especially the beginning. Everything here
is really straightfoward and the end of the song looks a lot like a random jam 
with Kurt Cobainish noise and feedback. The main effect used here is a 
flanger/phaser (whichever one you have). Its used on a manual pedal so if you 
want the song to sound exactly like the CD, you should get one of those manual
foot-pedal controlled ones. 


Tuning: 1 and a half steps down then drop D (B-F#-B-E-G#-C#)

Key:
x - dont play that string
/ - slide
pm - palm mute

Note: there are no 10's and 11's unless stated!!!

Intro

E |-77777-|
B |-xxxxx-| - tremelo pick this with a weak flanger effect.
F#|-55555-|

Then comes in a second guitar

E |-7777777777777777-|
B |-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-| - here, increase the flanger effect when the 6's are played
F#|-55555555/6666666-|

Before the heavy part ("Broke away my tear spout...")

B |-7-7-7-7-|
F#|---------|

The heavy part ("As i lie there whith my tongue spread wide open...")

E |---------|---------t13t-|
B |-888-0-7-|-888-0-7-xxxx-| - that last chord (thats a ten) comes in after 
F#|-888-0-7-|-888-0-7-t10t-|   a while...
B |-888-0-7-|-888-0-7------|

The Chorus Riff ("Its hard to stay between the lines of skin...")

B |-021-021-00-5-05-03-|
F#|-021-021-00-5-05-03-|

pm  --- --- --   -  - 

This riff comes in before "binding my time..."

B |-0888-|
F#|-0888-| - followed by percussion sounds
B |-0888-|
pm  ---- 

"Binding my time until the time is right"

B |-08-07-08-07-07-|

B |-08-07-08-07-07-|
pm  -  -  -  -  - 

The riff when he starts screaming after "Binding my time..."

B |-08--7-|
F#|-08--7-| - he starts 
B |-08--7-|
pm  -

Then there is that noisefest part with feedback. Most notes resemble the intro
so play around with that. Im sure its a random thing when the band plays it live
(if they do...). It kinda reminds me of Kurt Cobain and his feedback-led solos.

Towards the end ("I want my time.. Id rather die..."

B |-7-|
F#|-7-| - this chord is played with flanger
B |-7-|

"Need Time!" (when Corey goes all psyco!)

B |-00-00-|
F#|-00-00-| - Just that chord
B |-00-00-|

Thats It!
