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

*Final Update Added 02/02/05*

This is my second Explosions In The Sky tab, entitled, "Greet Death" (not

to be confused with "Help Us Stay Alive" - there is no such song). This is

a relatively easy song to learn and play. Hope you like it... feel free to

email me tab requests, death threats, money, etc.
