This tab is loosely based on a tab I found that had no
name attached to
it...I found a few mistakes and decided to fix it up a
bit.  Well, it
turned into a complete overhaul, and then I saw Coheed
live and had to
overhaul most of my own tabs.  So, now these tabs
should be very accurate.
I don't know much about the band's setup, but I do
know Claudio uses a
very 80's-metal-looking white Explorer, and both
guitarists have killer
tone and sustain.  On with the tabs...

s=slide
b=bend
h=hammer on





INTRO...
You could also play this riff on the A and D strings,
but I saw them
live and the guitarist definitely played this part on
E and A.  I
couldn't see/remember much of it, but I've done the
best I can:

2nd guitar, 2nd intro rep.: this part is probably
played with an
eBow.  (Update: I don't think so - they just have a
rediculous amount
of sustain on those guitars.)  Also, use a good amount
of vibrato,
esp. on the last note.

verse...use heavy palm muting.  Every fourth time you
play this
riff, strum B5 and A5 six times instead of what's
written -
listen to the CD for exact timing.

I couldn't figure out much of the bridge part(it
starts with E5
and mixes in a few riffs here and there, most of it's
not too hard
but there are a bunch of notes buried under the
vocals)
but anyway, here's the riff right after the line "I
love you too"...
