Tabs
Artist: Flyleaf
Album: Memento Mori (2009)
Tabbed by: lutewielder
Welcome to my first tab! As far as I know, it is mostly accurate, BUT I
worked this out on my acoustic, which is here at school with me. If you
have a correction or suggestion, please leave a respectful comment. I have
included a Known Issues section after the tab. Enjoy!
[I wanted to preserve the rhythm markings, so when there is a section with a
repeating note that is two digits (10, 14, etc.) a comma (,) means repeat
that note. If this is too confusing, please offer a suggestion.]

Known issues:
The INTRO might not be exact. The guitar/amp settings made things fuzzy, so
it was hard to pick out the exact order of the strummed/picked notes.
Basically, Gtr 1 plays an E MajorE minor shape and moves the root up to G, and then
F#.
In VERSE 2 a-d, the 1st, 7th, 13th, and 19th notes are hard to hear over the
bass, which plays a note similar to an open Dropped D MajorD string. I still
think, however, that Gtr 2 is not playing 0 on that string, but 2.
In VERSE 2 c-d, Gtr 3 might not be a guitar at all, but some other stringed
instrument. I do not know, it sounds different to me, but I tabbed it
anyway.
Verse 2 e is not completely clear to me. Gtr 1 might be playing one
note or two notes. The guitar/amp settings are muddled to me. Help?
Also in Verse 2 e, the Gtr 2 part might actually be played by a bass, but I
am not sure. I have included the tab anyway.
In Verse 3 d, the power chords at fret 10 and 9 might actually be a
low-sounding 
C majorC and BB on a Dropped BB string(?). However, I do not intend to
try to include B-tunings or crazy 7-strings or baritone guitars in my tab,
haha.
