I have seen some horrible transcriptions for Tool so I have
taken it upon myself to supply people with some accurate
ones.
This is my own work and my own interpretation of this song.
I am in no way implying that I wrote this song.
Now, I am going to assume that anyone that plans on
learning this song is familiar with it. I have transcribed
what I consider to be the main parts. Each part has the
time shown that it begins. You will have to listen to the
record to get the rythm down. It gets kinda tricky in some
spots. Good luck and enjoy!
