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

The intro riff is played through almost the entire song

(This is one of the only two Tallman songs using 2 guitars)

Jay plays the intro, Paul plays the heavy stuff.

This is a guess:

RIFF B

A-3-5-1---3-2-1-0-3-0-|
D-3-5-1---3-2-1-0-3-0-|

3:01 - 4:13

(There's an underlying guitar part I don't know)

Riff A again, with distortion, no open notes.

One note is played an extra time,

4:14 - 5:09 - I don't know

5:09 - 5:30 - Riff B

5:31 - 6:27 - I don't know

The song goes out on this part:

LYRICS:

in a darkened room, sun burned a hole in your eyes

afraid to leave the tomb, afraid to look at the sky

you will be waking soon, come on and open your eyes

you will be waking soon, come on see through the disguise

head in a grey balloon, waiting to witness a sign

head in a grey balloon, immune to passing of time

you will be waking soon, come on and open your eyes

you will be waking soon, come on see through the disguise

your hollow apathy, is not concerning me

stuck somewhere inbetween, a dying wish and a dream

question philosophy, reject hypocrisy

stuck somewhere inbetween, a dying wish and a dream

reaching out for something, something I cannot find

reaching out for someone, someone is left behind

your hollow apathy, is not concerning me

stuck somewhere inbetween, a dying wish and a dream

question philosophy, reject hypocrisy

stuck somewhere inbetween, a dying wish and a dream

come on and open your eyes
