Drummer: Danny Carey
Tabbed by: Dan Mast  ( superxero14@aol.com )

A Standard time jungle groove with  SNARES OFF 
When I saw them play this song, Danny?s bell and splash accents were slightly different than the CD, so just improvise a little.  

C - crash
R - Ride
CH - China
I - Electronic rim sounds (use snare or tom rims)
T1 - hi tom (8?)
T2 - second highest tom (10?)
S - snare (Snares Off) (14?)
F1 - First floor tom (14?)
F2 - Second floor tom (16?)
B - Bass drum (26?)
H - Hi-hat with foot
 
 -o-   - regular note
-O-   - accented note

T1 |--------------OO-------------------|--------------OO-------------------|
T2 |-------o------------o------------o-|-------o------------o--------------|
 S |----------------------------O------|----------------------------O------|
F1 |-----o---o-------------o--------o--|-----o---o-------------o-----------|
F2 |-O---------------------------------|-O---------------------------------|
 B |-O---------o------o-----o----------|-O---------o------o-----o----------|
   |  1 ` & ` 2 ` & ` 3 ` & ` 4 ` & `  |  1 ` & ` 2 ` & ` 3 ` & ` 4 ` & `  |
x 4 solo, then guitar enters
X 4 with guitar then crash
x4 adding little splash and bell accents
	
	Then, at 1:03 add hi-hat: 	

T1 |--------------OO-------------------|--------------OO-------------------|
T2 |-------o------------o-------------o|-------o-------------o-------------|
 S |----------------------------O------|----------------------------O------|
F1 |-----o---o-------------o--------o--|-----o---o-------------o-----------|
F2 |-O---------------------------------|-O---------------------------------|
 B |-O--------o-------o-----o----------|-O---------o------o-----o----------|
 H |-x--------x-------x-------x--------|-x--------x-------x--------x-------|
   |  1 ` & ` 2 ` & ` 3 ` & ` 4 ` & `  |  1 ` & ` 2 ` & ` 3 ` & ` 4 ` & `  |	

Repeat until 3:22, then play without hi-hat (??in my darkest moment??)
At 3:40, the measure looks like this:

T1 |--------------------OO---------------------------|--------------------OO--------------------------|
T2 |----------o-----------------o------------------o--|----------o------------------o--------------------|
  I  |---------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------oooooooo|
 S  |--------------------------------------O-----------|--------------------------------------OO---------|
F1 |--------o-----o----------------o-----------o-----|--------o-----o-----------------o-----------------|
F2 |-O------------------------------------------------|--O-----------------------------------------------|
 B  |-O--------------o-------o--------o--------------|--O-------------o--------o--------o--------------|
     |   1  `  &  `  2  `  &  `  3  `  &  `  4  `  &  `   |   1  `  &  `  2  `  &  `  3  `  &  `  4  `  &  `  |	

At 4:04 add hi-hat again
At 4:20 use more crashes, and pick up a little until 4:46 (??It?s Calling Me? )
At 5:40, the hi-hat drops out again (??In my Darkest moment??)   
At 6:00, do the crazy 32nd notes on the rims like the measure above    
At 6:21 there is a simple 16th note run / fill, and the hats come back again:

CH ----------------| X--
T1  -OOOO----------|-----
T2  ------OO-------|-----
F1  ---------OO----|-----
F2  ------------OO-|-O----
H   ---------------|-x------x---     etc.

At 7:04 pick up crashes again with ?.. before I pine away?
At 7:26, the beat changes, and I?m not sure, but I usually play it something like this:

 C|X-----------------------------------------------|
T1|-ooooo-------------O----------------------------|
T2|------------------------------------------o-----|
 S|---------O---------o-------------------------O--|
F1|-----------o-------------o------------o---------|
F2|----------------------------o-------------------|
 B|o------------o----------------o-----o-----------|
 H|-x----------x-----------x----------x------------| 

Just make up something elaborate, adding fills and crashes on guitar accents. Each measure is different.
Then at 8:24, cut out for one measure of guitar then play:

   | 1 ` & ` 2 ` & ` 3 ` & ` 4 ` & ` | 1 ` & ` 2 ` & ` 3 ` & ` 4 ` & ` | 
C |X-----------X-----------X---------|X-----------X-----------X--------|
T |----o------------o-------------O--|----o------------o-------------O-|
S |--------o-------------------------|-------o-------------------------|
F |--------------------o-------------|--------------------o------------|
B |O--------O------------O-----------|O--------O------------oo---------|
  | 1 ` & ` 2 ` & ` 3 ` & ` 4 ` & `  | 1 ` & ` 2 ` & ` 3 ` & ` 4 ` & ` | 
 Then at 8:48 after repeating the above 8 times play a more simple, smooth:

   | 1 ` & ` 2 ` & ` 3 ` & ` 4 ` & `  | 1 ` & ` 2 ` & ` 3 ` & ` 4 ` & `  | 
C |X-----------x----------------------|X------------x--------------------|
T |-------o--------------o------------|----o---------------o---o---------|
S |--------------o--------------------|-------o-------------o------------|
F |-----------------------------o--o--|----------------------------o--o-o|
B |O-----------O----------------------|O------------o--------------------|
   | 1 ` & ` 2 ` & ` 3 ` & ` 4 ` & `  | 1 ` & ` 2 ` & ` 3 ` & ` 4 ` & `  |

End with:  
  |----------------x3----------------|----------------------x1----------|
C | X-----X---X----------------------|X-----X---X-----------------------|
S |----------------------------------|-----------------------------O-Ooo|
F |------------------------------oooO|----------------------------------|
B |O------o-----o--------------------|O------o----o----------------o----|
    | 1 ` & ` 2 ` & ` 3 ` & ` 4 ` & `| 1 ` & ` 2 ` & ` 3 ` & ` 4 ` & `  |  

Now turn this into a ride-based jam until 10:04

  |----------------x3------------------|----------------------x1--------|

C | X---------X------------------------|X-------X-----------------------|X----

S |----------------------------o-------|-----o---o----------------------|------
F |------------------------------------|---------------------o---O---O--|O---
B |O------------o----------o-----------|O--------O---o---o---o---o---o--|O---
    | 1 ` & ` 2 ` & ` 3 ` & ` 4 ` & `  | 1 ` & ` 2 ` & ` 3 ` & ` 4 ` & `|
