Guitar Tab 

AWAKE
As recorded by Pillar
(From the 2006 Album THE RECKONING)
Transcribed by Aidan (hairhockey@hotmail.com)	Words and Music by Pillar

Gtr I (C G C F A D) - 'light distortion 1'
Gtr II (C G C F A D) - 'Light Distortion 2'
Gtr III (C G C F A D) - 'Heavy Distortion'
 Intro
There are a couple of effects at the beginning but I didn't know how to tab them.  I
just a couple of volume swells.
This does NOT include the bass part, so I don't have the riff that the bass plays during
Intro and Verse.
