This is a really cool song, with a wicked bass line.  If you haven't
already bought _Splendor Solis_ then buy it!  Wow, what a CD.

"Save Me" by The Tea Party
(most of the guitar is played with a bow - cool eh?)

Key: Emin
Time sig: fast 4/4

Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -

You can play this song in standard tuning, but I think it is played in
open D (low to high: DADF#AD) on the CD - I'll tab both ways as much
as I can.  It sounds nicer in open D (especially on the bridge part)
'cause you get the open strings adding harmonics.

(This might be totally wrong, but I think the bass is using dropped-D tuning
 I don't own a bass - this sounds right (albeit too high) on my guitar)
