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

I should warn you that the rhythm isn't quite right on this, but this

should get you a close enough feel for the song to be able to play along

with the CD and work out the rhythm.

So it goes kinda like:

Riff 1 (several times), Riff 2, Riff 3, Riff 2, Riff 3

Riff 1

It drains all of my life force

Riff 1

A body like a unicorn, it's a phobia

Riff 3 Riff 1

In this crowded room the people just stare

Riff 2

Descend my soul (or whatever)...

Riff 3

Riff 2

Descand my soul, etc...

I think you get the idea. Two notes: first, I'm doing this completely by

memory since I currently have access to either my guitar nor the CD at the

moment; secondly, the bass does NOT appear to follow the guitar. I've not

quite figured out the bass yet, though, but there appear to be some

counterpoint involved.
