Song: In the Dark (track 7) Artist: Flyleaf Album: Memento Mori (2009) Tabbed by: lutewielder Welcome to my first tab! As far as I know, it is mostly accurate, BUT I worked this out on my acoustic, which is here at school with me. If you have a correction or suggestion, please leave a respectful comment. I have included a Known Issues section after the tab. Enjoy! [I wanted to preserve the rhythm markings, so when there is a section with a repeating note that is two digits (10, 14, etc.) a comma (,) means repeat that note. If this is too confusing, please offer a suggestion.] Gtr I (E A D G B e) - 'Lead Electric Guitar' Gtr II (D A D G B e) drop D- 'Rhythm Electric Guitar' Gtr III?

3 c Start = 3:33 [Same as CHORUS 1 c] Known issues: The INTRO might not be exact. The guitar/amp settings made things fuzzy, so it was hard to pick out the exact order of the strummed/picked notes. Basically, Gtr 1 plays an E minor shape and moves the root up to G, and then F#. In VERSE 2 a-d, the 1st, 7th, 13th, and 19th notes are hard to hear over the bass, which plays a note similar to an open Dropped D string. I still think, however, that Gtr 2 is not playing 0 on that string, but 2. In VERSE 2 c-d, Gtr 3 might not be a guitar at all, but some other stringed instrument. I do not know, it sounds different to me, but I tabbed it anyway. Verse 2 e is not completely clear to me. Gtr 1 might be playing one note or two notes. The guitar/amp settings are muddled to me. Help? Also in Verse 2 e, the Gtr 2 part might actually be played by a bass, but I am not sure. I have included the tab anyway. In Verse 3 d, the power chords at fret 10 and 9 might actually be a low-sounding C and B on a Dropped B string(?). However, I do not intend to try to include B-tunings or crazy 7-strings or baritone guitars in my tab, haha. The hammer-ons in CHORUS b & c are debatable... ************************************ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off ************************************
