Artist: Silverchair Song: Emotion Sickness Album: Neon Ballroom Tabbed By: Jim Osmun 2/5/2012 Author's Note: Much of this tab was taken from Scott Brady's tab of the live version. I've made my own adjustments (tabs, formatting, lyrics, etc.) where needed, but I want to credit and thank Scott very much for helping me learn this amazing song.
