This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

CONTROL DENIED - EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED

From the Album THE FRAGILE ART OF EXISTENCE

Email me if you have any questions, comments or if there are any errors.

Some of the riffs can be played at different positions on the neck. It

was easier to write some of them the way they are.

Tuning = D (D,G,C,F,A,D)
