Song: Blue
Band: A Perfect Circle
Album: Thirteenth Step
Guitarists: Billy Howerdel and James Iha
Tabbed by: Zach Kraemer

I was disturbed at the lack of a tab for "Blue", and I felt the need
to step in. This tab IS incomplete, but I'll be fixing that soon and
it's better than nothing.The only "Blue" tab was by some major idiot
who tabbed "A Stranger" and called it Blue!

Tuning: C# F# B E G# C#


Intro:
Gtr.1 w/chorus, reverb & delay
         |play 12 ½x                                                  |

Riff A is actually two parts arranged for one.

Fill 1 (0:53) There's more to it than this, but this is all you can hear.
