Breaking Benjamin "Away" From the album "We Are Not Alone" Tab by Joe Costello (joseph.costello@villanova.edu) Note: This is mostly based on the tab by innerfears (which is very close). I play the chorus differently, and think I have the lead too. Tuning: Drop-D and down a half step (low to high: Db Ab Db Gb Bb eb) Symbols used: / = slide up = slide down 9b(10)r9 = Bend 9th fret note to pitch of 10th fret, then release * = let note ring . = palm-mute = harmonic x = muted strings Intro: Guitar 1: Riff 1: eb|-----------------------------|-----------------------------| Bb|-----------------------------|-----------------------------| Gb|-----------------------------|-----------------------------| Db|--------5-5--------5-5-------|-----------------------------| Ab|--2-2-2------2-2-2------2-0--|--2-2-2-5-5--2-2-2-5-5--2-0--| Db|--2-2-2------2-2-2------2-0--|--2-2-2------2-2-2------2-0--| eb|-----------------------------|-----------------------------| Bb|-----------------------------|-----------------------------| Gb|-----------------------------|----------------------------*| Db|-----------------------------|----------------------------*| Ab|--2-2-2-3-3--2-2-2-3-3--2-0--|--2-2-2-5-5--2-2-2-5-5--2-5--| Db|--2-2-2------2-2-2------2-0--|--2-2-2------2-2-2------2-5--| -end of Riff 1 Guitar 2: (Lead) w/Riff 1: eb|---------------------------------------------------| Bb|---------------------------------------------------| Gb|---7/9----9b(10)r9----9b(10)r9----9b(10)r9----9*---| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Ab|---------------------------------------------------| Db|---------------------------------------------------| Verse: Guitar 1: Riff 2: (2x) eb|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------| Bb|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|------------------| Gb|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------*| Db|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------*| Ab|--2--5-2--5-2--0-|--2--0-2--0-2--0-|--2--3-2--3-2--0-|-2--5-2--5-2--5---| Db|--2--5-2--5-2--0-|--2--0-2--0-2--0-|--2----2----2--0-|-2----2----2--5---| P.M. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
