Artist: Staind
Song: Mudshovel
Album: Dysfunction/Tormented (?)
Tabber: Goran (wes7boiler@hotmail.com)

[NOTE]: There's a cath with guitar/tuning in Staind's songs
Here's what Mike himself says about his mean guitar:
“On my signature baritone, I get completely stable tuning and better
articulation with fuller tone than I could ever achieve with a standard
guitar-no matter what tuning or how aggressively I play.” -Mike Mushok
(Staind) MMM1
Mike Mushok signature model guitar
The basics:
• Matte finished mahogany body and thru-neck provide gargantuan tone
and sustain
• 28” scale baritone neck offers the ability to achieve all kinds of low
tunings
• Super 58 pickups custom wound for baritone
• Tuning machines feature low string posts for higher tension of the nut
• Factory tuning is A#-F-C#-G#-D#-A#(1 to 6)
I like this song sooo much so I decided to tab it perfectly as possible.
I've studied all the tabs for this awesome song and figured out that the
real tuning is Ab-Db-Ab-Db-Gb-Bb (low to high), just like the other
Staind's songs. You should hear the live version from Family Values Tour
'99. It's even better than the studio version. Here's the tab. N-jOy.

=================================================================================
You take away
I feel the same
You take away
I feel the same
All the promises
You made to me you made in vain
I lost myself
Inside your tainted smile again
'Cause you can't feel my ANGER, you can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment, driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings, they will bring you pain
You can't take away, make me whole again
I feel betrayed
Stuck in your ways
And you rip me apart with the brutal things you say
I can't deal with *** anymore I just look away
'Cause you can't feel my ANGER, you can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment, driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings, they will bring you pain
You can't take away, make me whole again
Mudshovel
You take away
I feel the same
All these promises
You promised only pain
If you take away
And leave me with nothing again
'Cause you can't feel my ANGER, you can't feel my pain
You can't feel my torment, driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings, they will bring you pain
You can't take away, make me whole again
You will feel my anger, you will feel my pain
You will feel my torment, driving you insane
I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain
You won't take away, I'll be whole again
Mudshovel
