Watch the band

Quickly

I----------------------------------------I

I----------------------------------------I

I------2-----------2---------------------I
I------2--------2-----5-----2--5--4------I
I------0-----------------------------5---I

Follow the unknown

I----------I

I----------I

I---0--2---I

I-------------------------------I

I-------------------------------I

I---0--2----------------2-(4)---I
I---0--2---------2-(4)----------I
I---X--0------------------------I
I---3---------------------------I

Then play the verse again with these lyrics...

Sleepwalk

So fast asleep

In a motel

That has the lay of home

And piss on

All of your background

And piss on

All your surroundings

Then play the chorus for times. The last time through,

instead of saying "It didn't come it doesn't matter", say

"It couldn't come at a worst time".

Now, last but not least, here is the interlude...

I----------I

I----------I

I-------------------------I

I------6-\-4------4-\-2---I
I------7-\-5------5-\-4---I
I---7----------5----------I

I-------------------------I

Then, repeat the interlude with these lyrics...

And yea the human

Consists in

The necesity

Now, repeat the second chorus again, it is followed by the

solo which I have yet to tab out.
