Tool - Parabola Transcribed by - Daniel Thomason (slipknot_juggalo@hotmail.com) My favorite song off of the new CD, "Lateralus". I'm not going to tab the whole song, since you can figure most of it out by ear (it's Drop D, don't say you can't). I'm just doing the main riffs that you need to get through the song. Oh, and the solo. Tuning - Drop D (D, A, D, G, B, E, low to high) Key: h - Hammer on b - Bend P.M. - Palm mute ~ - Vibrato * - Harmonic - Slide down Intro/Main Riff: Use Wah pedal e-----------------------------------------------5h7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7---5h7-5-5b--- B--------------------------3h5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------------------------- G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D--0h2-2-2-2-5-0-2-2-2----------------------------------------------------------- A--0h2-2-2-2-5-0-2-2-2----------------------------------------------------------- D--0h2-2-2-2-5-0-2-2-2----------------------------------------------------------- Verse Riff: e------------------------------------------------------------------------ B------------------------------------------------------------------------ G------------------------------------------------------------------------ D--0-2--0-2--0-2--0-2--0-2----------------------------------------------- A--0-2--0-2--0-2--0-2--0-2----------------------------------------------- D--0-2--0-2--0-2--0-2--0-2----------------------------------------------- P.M.====================== Pre-Chorus Riff (This holy...): e------------------------------------------------------------------------ B------------------------------------------------------------------------ G------------------------------------------------------------------------ D--5-5-7-7-7-7-2-2-4-4-4-4----------------------------------------------- A--5-5-7-7-7-7-2-2-4-4-4-4----------------------------------------------- D--5-5-7-7-7-7-2-2-4-4-4-4----------------------------------------------- Chorus (This body...): e------------------------------------------------------------------------ B------------------------------------------------------------------------ G------------------------------------------------------------------------ D--0h2-2-2-2-5-0-2-2-2--------------------------------------------------- A--0h2-2-2-2-5-0-2-2-2--------------------------------------------------- D--0h2-2-2-2-5-0-2-2-2--------------------------------------------------- Bridge w/Wah: e-----------------------5h7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-----------------------------------10-9-----9--- B--3h5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-----------------------3h5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-10h12-10~b-------10----- G------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ D------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ D------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Solo: e-----------10-9--------------------------------------------------------------------------- B-------------------10------10-10b12b10~--------------------------------------------------- G-----11-12------12----12~---------------12-11-12-11b-9~-*8-11-12-*7-*6---11-12-*7-*6-*12-- D--*9--------------------------------------------------------------------9----------------- A------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ D------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Solo Continued: e---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- G--12-7-9-------------------------------------------------------------------------- D----------7--7~-----2------------------------------------------------------------ A---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- D----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
