Here for a long time, this is my first contribution.

Hot Water Music - Drag my Body

The Song is off the upcoming Album 'Exister', a video is already up on youtube.

The song is based on 4 Chords.
                                      (I think, the second guitar
    C# (x43121@1)     A (x02220@1)      B (x2444x@1)      E (022100@1)    plays the low E)
e|-----|  |-----|  |-----|  |-----|             |-----|
B|-----|  |-----|  |-----|  |-----|             |-----|
G|--6--|  |-----|  |-----|  |--9--|             |-----|
D|--6--|  |--7--|  |--9--|  |--9--|             |--2--|
A|--4--|  |--7--|  |--9--|  |--7--|             |--2--|
E|-----|  |--5--|  |--7--|  |-----|             |--0--|

From the second verse on, the lead guitar plays a little riff like

(palm muted)
e|-----------|
B|-----------|   on the C#-parts, and also plays them   
G|-----------|   on the A- and B-parts. Listen to the 
D|--6-6664---|   song, and you'll know, hat I mean ;o)
A|--4-4444---|
E|-----------|



Not sure about the tab at the beginning, kind of like that.

Well I got my heart up in a beautiful mess
