Cigarettes - Seether
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by:Philip Wesley Tapscott
Email:tapscottphilip@yahoo.com
Tuning:Down 1/2 step (Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, eb)
This has to be the most underrated Seether song out there, and I really wanted to play
it. Unfortunately, I was not very satisfied with the other tab on here, so I decided to
learn this song by ear. This is my first time learning a song by ear, and I figured this
would be kind of easy, and for the most part, it wasn't that bad. By the way, I've heard
some people say this song is in Drop Db (Db, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, eb), but it could easily be
played both ways. If you have any problems with this tab or if you find a mistake
somewhere in it, please leave a comment or email me.

include harmonics in this song, but this is how I like to play it.

Just a little side note: I noticed that on the fourth time this riff repeats in every
instance, a different hammer-on is played at the end instead of the 3h4. I'm not quite
sure what it is yet, I just know that it does sound lower, and I think it might be
something like this:
eb|--------------------|
Bb|--------------------|
Gb|---3h4p3-------3p1--|
Db|-5---------3-3------|
Ab|-5---------3-3------|
Eb|-3-------0-1-1------|
