/ Tool / Opiate (1992) / Part Of Me guitar tab


Nifty song.  Don't know what the time sigs are but this is
one of those songs you really have to feel so time sigs are
irrelevant if you ask me.

Tune in drop-D fashion : DADGBE

Bass follows pattern in 2.1 without guitar 2 times

I know you well, you are a part of me
I know you better than I know myself

Play Figure 2.1 lightly (ie. low-D string only)

                     You are a part of me

Note that each word here should match up rythymically which each
F note (3-3-3).

---0--0--0--0--0--- etc. --------------------------
--------------------------------------------------- 
---------------------------------------------------

There are variations on the rythym here which I have not bothered
to work out in detail but its all on the open D string.

You are just a part of me
You are just a part of me
You are just a part of me
You .. are .. just .. a .. PART OF ME-E-E-E-E-E

Start playing Figure 1 on the "me-e-e-e-e" part and the rest
of the song is just variations of the above figures.

The solo is played over figure 1 as well.

This could also be played using the same notes but on the
top B and E strings.  Make sure the notes ring out and overlap.
