Eb Tuning
Alexisonfire featuring Gared O'Donnell from Planes Mistaken For Stars

The chord names I use should technically all be flat ie E5=Eb5, G5=F#5/Gb5 etc. Just
when people tab things out the use the chord names in standard tuning for simplicity :)

Slight Palm Muting and only little distortion, if any, and slightly quieter:

|---------------------------------------------------------------|

Play that twice

Then the drums kick in. A second guitar begins picking up distortion and scraping
plays random stuff etc with a little delay. The other guitar plays the riff again, but this
a bit louder and more distortion.

Play that 4 times, but end second and 4th times with:

|--------|
|--------|
|--------|
|2-2-2-2-|
|2-2-2-2-|
|0-0-0-0-|

It has to kind of stop-start-stop.

Now all the guitars kick in. Distortion and volume get much larger. There's also a
bit of piano near the end. He'll occasionally play the chords as full barre minor chords (I'm
100% that they're all minors, but they may not all be, he really only occasionally 
it anyway), you need to listen for when.

They'll look like this:

E5: |----  will become a Em Chord: |0
    |----                          |0
    |----                          |0
    |2222                          |2
    |2222                          |2
    |0000                          |0

G5: |----  will become a Gm Chord: |3
    |----                          |3
    |----                          |3
    |5555                          |5
    |5555                          |5
    |3333                          |3

F5: |----  will become a Fm Chord: |1
    |----                          |1
    |----                          |1
    |3---                          |3
    |3---                          |3
    |1---                          |1

This loud/distorted/uh..."chordy?" dynamic continues till the end. Hold the last chord
a half second then mute it.

And that's the song! Comment, Tab, PM, Flame...whatever!
