tune to 1 flat 

to play the ryhthm of the song on a guitar, play:

Em7
The pink pills are for your sanity
G/B
We are buried in the earth because we can't beat gravity
Em7
You are still here and so made to figure
G/B
You are an important part of the computer
Born of the sea, blink The sea is dead
Falls out of me the sockets in my head
Everyone's a captain Baby, ship of fools
CaddG
Drowning while they're telling you

Asus4
It's been alright
G/B
It's been alright
Asus4
It's been alright
G/B
It's been alright


main riff:
I
the actual sound you hear is much too fast to play, so just play this instead:
D|-4-5-7-5--4-5-7-5--4-5-7-5--4-5-7-5-| 
continued as needed

0:51
riff continued throughout
II
B|-5h7-7-5-------5h7-7-5-------------------------------------
G|---------7-9-7---------7-9-7-------------------------------
D|-----------------------------------------------------------

2:35
with some type of distortion and delay
III
G|-7h9-11-11p9-------7h9-11-11p9----------(9)s11-11-11-11s12-12-12-12-12-11-11-11~-|
D|-------------7-9---------------7-9--7h9------------------------------------------|
play throughout. 

for the bridge/chorus with acoustic, 

4:01
a riff somewhat like III. it's too much to tab right now. email me if you've done it. 


4:23
starting with "can't fear fear, fear is the mind killer"  

Em7
can't fear fear, fear is the mind killer
Em7
can't fear fear, fear is the mind killer
G/B
can't fear fear, fear is the mind killer
G/B
can't fear fear, fear is the mind killer

after G/B the it goes

e|--x--x---x--x--|
B|--x--x---x--x--|
G|--x--x---x--x--|
D|-(0)(0)-(0)(0)-|
A|--0--0---0--0--|
E|--3--3---2--2--|

then right back into the Em7 chord. 

listen for strumming, but basically it goes 2 counts of 6 and and emphasis on the A and D
strings every 3.
to get the right sound you need about a 35mm pick. 


if i missed anything (and i probably did) then please email me.



Define:

   Em7   G/B  CaddG Asus4 

e|--3--|--3--|--3--|-(0)-|
B|--3--|--3--|--1--|--3--|
G|--0--|--0--|--0--|--2--|
D|--2--|--0--|--2--|--2--|
A|--2--|--2--|--3--|-(0)-|
E|--x--|--x--|--x--|--x--|
