Tuning: D Tuning with low D dropped to A (AGCFAD) INTRO (NOTE: Alternate Picking & Palm Muted) Very simple but awesome sounding chug going on here - listen to track for timings D|------------------------------------------------------------------------|| A|------------------------------------------------------------------------|| F|------------------------------------------------------------------------|| C|------------------------------------------------------------------------|| G|------------------------------------------------------------------------|| A|--0-0-0-0--(for ages)--5-5-5-5--(for a few bars)--0-0-0-0---------------|| VERSE {0:50 - 1:18} (Guitar 1) Now theres a few ways you can do this but Im going to lay out this method as I have a gut feeling its the right way (at least if played live). You can seperate this guitar part into two guitars if you wish and again, listen for timings.

There are some open notes thrown in to make it sound a bit groovier - something like this: D|---------------------------------|| A|---------------------------------|| F|---------------------------------|| C|--4-4---4-4---4----2-2-2---------|| G|--2-2-0-2-2-0-2-0--0-0-0--etc----|| A|---------------------------------|| (Guitar 2) Has 4 little leads that come in during the gaps in singing - again not 100%on these.

OUTRO {3:18 - 4:00} (Guitar 1 & 2) - same as Chorus but with varying effects etc - just listen to figure it out (Guitar 3 - around 3:33) - Classic Mastodon 'noodling', play around with something like this: D|---------------------------------------------------|| A|--17-15----15-17/1(b9)1(b9)-------17-15----15 -------|| F|---------16---------------------------16-----------|| C|---------------------------------------------------|| G|---------------------------------------------------|| A|---------------------------------------------------|| D|--------------------1(b9)---------15-----------------|| A|--17-15-----15-17--------17-1(b9)---1(b9)--------------|| F|---------16----------------------------------------|| C|---------------------------------------------------|| G|---------------------------------------------------|| A|---------------------------------------------------|| D|--------------------------------------------------12 bend---------------|| A|-----------------------------------------------------10-12-12 let ring--|| F|------------(b9)11 let ring-----------------------------------------------|| C|-----(b9)12-(b9)-----------------(b9)12-(b9)12-9 let ring-----------------------|| G|------------------------------------------------------------------------|| A|-15\--------------------------------------------------------------------|| LYRICS It flickered to light It turned broke what was right It got the roots by the hair What was was no longer there It blocked out the sun It climbed up the stairs And then it slipped through the cracks I wasn't watching my back A commotion If it rips you all apart The grudge has still got your heart It stalked through the rooms And then it tore the sheets off the bed It ripped the books off the shelf It turned heaven to hell It held me down tight It took all my fight It broke all the windows It came flame from the kindle A commotion If it rips you all apart The grudge has still got your heart
