Reflections Of A Broken Soul Tab by Extol Band: Extol Album: Burial Song: Reflections of a broken Soul Copyright (c) Century Media Records Version 1.0 - April 1 2005 Transcribed By: peteR Email: peter@silendril.com One of the greatest pieces. 7:31 minutes never seemed so short. Absolutely unbelievable!! A little bit of both guitars... With a little help of power chords... Comments!? About the tuning... well I tried it with standard E, but I have this strange feeling that dropD must be in there somewhere... or worse! seriously, it is dropD - so I just wrote the letters instead of chords, they should be correct and you can pick whatever finger position you like ;-)= ************************************************ Intro *******************************************00:00 10/4 (8/4 + 2/4) E D F E -----------------------| -----------------------| -----1-------1-----3-2-| -2-3---3-2-0---3-0-----| -----------------------| -----------------------| Beat_A ******************************************************00:43 The beat for this part: 6/8 - 6/8 - 5/8 - 5/8 (or: try counting slow 4/4 and then 5/8) -5-5-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-| -------------------------| -4-4-4-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-| -------------------------| -------------------------| -------------------------| ---------------------------| ---------------------------| -5-4-2-0-2-0(2)0-----------| ---------------------3-2-0-| ---------------------------| ---------------------------| Both guitars together 6/8 B (=H) - F# - F (like this: BBB-F#F#F#-FFFFFF) 5/8 A - E - F - Bb (AAA-E---F-BbBbBb) Guitars only - before it really starts: Beat_B ******************************************************01:00 a regular 4/4 - don't worry, the guitars are behind a little (or it is aVERY strange beat) F - G - E F - G - E F - E - D# F - E - D# (+repeat) Beat_C ******************************************************01:23 3 x 8/8 1 x 9/8 D - F - G - A - Bb - A - F --- G#-Bb-F-G# D - A# - C - A - A# - A - G --- G-D# D - F - G - A - Bb - A - F --- G#-Bb-F-G# (9/8) D - A# - C - A - A# - A - G --- C-D#-A-A#-C I fooled myself again Trusting an illusion Of what I thought to be Never ceasing love I burned myself again Leaving scars that never heal Becoming cynical To this thing called love --- D#-D Git1 -----------------------| -------------------3-4-| -------3-2---0---------| -(0)-3-----3-----0-----| ---------------3-------| -----------------------| Git2 --------------------------| -------3-1--------------1-| -(0)-0-----2-3---0-3(3)---| --------------------------| --------------------------| --------------------------| Beat_D ************************************************2:00 4/4 G - D - Bb (actually the Bb here is: ---- ---- ---- -7-8 -8-8 -6-6 ...if i only knew the name for that cord!)
