Song: Parabola
Tabbed by: Andrew (theglorifiedmalcontent)

Tuning: Dropped D - D, A, D, G

------------= Key =------------
h  hammer on        PM palm mute on . notes
*  stop string      ^  optional low B

This song has, oddly enough (for Tool), a low B played in
the guitar part and quite likely in this bass part...I have
transcribed it so that it can be played on a standard dropped
D. (The notes that may be low B are marked by a ^ on the B
line. Written as a 2 on the A string, play it as a 0 on the B
string if you have one.)

This part doesn't really follow the singer...it's also quite difficult to hear
on the recording, so make up something like this (I think this is right):
