Tabbed by: Jonathan O'Neal

Tuning: Standard Tuning
This is my first tab, so go easy on me. When I first heard this song, I had to learn it
by ear,
and when someone on Youtube asked me to tab it, I thought, "Why not?". Anyways, here it is.
There's a bass line in the beginning that goes something like this:
e|------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------|
Bassline: D|---------6-8-8----------6-8---------|
A|---8------------6-8------------8----|
E|------------------------------------|
After playing the bass line about two times, Brandon Darner comes in with his graceful
guitar solo:
e|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|--8p7-----5------------8------------------8--7-5~\----3-0---h1-------------|(quietly hammer on
D|------6h8-------------------6--------8/10----8-6~\----0---3----------------| after plucking the
A|------------8------------8-------------------------------------------------| D string)
E|--------------4~~~---------------------------------------------------------|
e|----------------------------|
B|----------------------------|
G|-------------5--------------|
D|------6---8----6------------|
A|--------5-------------------|
E|--4/6------------8~---------|
Now here is the nice guitar riff 1:14 into the song:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---------------------3h4p3------------------------------------------------------3h4p3------------|
G|---3-----3-----3-----------5-3-3h5-----3-----3----------------------3-----3-----------5-3-3h5----|
D|-----6-----6-----6-----------------6-----6-----6---6-----6-----6------6-----6-----------------6--|
A|-------3-----3-----3-----------------3-----3-----3---3h5---3h5---3------3-----3-----------------3|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------|
G|--3-----3---------------------------------------------|
D|----6-----6---6-----6-----6---------------------------|
A|------3-----3---3h5---3h5---5\3~~~--------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|
After that is verse 1:
"I wanted to slow..."
e|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------8-7-5------|
D|----11\6--6------11\6--6------8-8-6------|
A|----13\8--8------13\8--8---/8------------|
E|----13\8--8------13\8--8-----------------|
After first verse repeat guitar riff only there's a variation in the end:
e|--------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------|
G|--3-----3-----------------------------|
D|----6-----6-----6---6--6--------------|
A|------3-------3-3h5-5--5p3------------|
E|--------------------------------------|
Second verse:
"I can tell that the groan..."
e|----------------------------|
B|----------------------------|
G|-----------------8-7-5------|
D|----11\6--6------8-8-6------|
A|----13\8--8---/8------------|
E|----13\8--8-----------------|
Chorus:
"Oh, perfection..."
e|----------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------|
G|--10--8--8-------------------10--8------|
D|------------11-10-8---------------------|
A|--------------------11------------------|
E|-------------------------8/9------------|
Guitar riff plays again but time varies in the first part and second part of it (you
must listen
to the song to hear the difference of each variation).
First time through repeated guitar riff variation:
e|--------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------|
G|--3-----3-----------------------|
D|----6-----6---6-----6-----6-----|
A|------3-----3---3-5---3-5---3---|
E|--------------------------------|
Second time through repeated guitar riff variation:
e|-------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------|
G|--3-----3----------------------------|
D|----6-----6----6---6-6-6-------------|
A|------3------3-3-3h5-5-5-5~-h3-------|
E|-------------------------------------|
And then verse 3:
"I fraction my bones into miracle..."
e|---------------------|
B|--6~-----------------|
G|--8~-----------------|
D|--6~-----------------|
A|--8~-----------------|
E|---------------------|
Chorus 2:
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-envy-corps/312362.html ]
"Oooh, fools..."
e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------8-8-9----------------------------|
G|--10--8--8-------------------10--8--8---5-5-5--5-5-5--10--8--------------5------5-5/10---8----|
D|------------11-10-8---------------------6-6-6--6-6-6----------------------------6-------------|
A|--------------------11------------------6-6-6--6-6-6-/11-------------8\6--------6-6/11--------|
E|-------------------------8/9-----------------------------------------------4-4-4--------------|
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0-------0------|
D|--6-----6-------6-------6-------6-------6-------6-------6----------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|------6---6---6---6---6---6---6---6---6---6---6---6---6---6---6----|
Now here comes the guitar breakdown that lasts for about 5 minutes. It's a little hard
to tab this
section because of the distortion but I'm trying my best:
e|------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------|
G|---10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10----|
D|---11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11----|
A|---11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11----|
E|------------------------------------------------------|
Then:
e|------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12b13-13-13-13-13r12----|
D|---13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13----13-13-13-13-------|
A|---13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13----13-13-13-13-------|
E|------------------------------------------------------------|
Guitar solo. This is how I think he plays but really you can improvise like crazy on this:
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---------------------------------------------------------------8------8------8------8------8---|
D|--8b10-8b10-8b10r8p6---6--8-6-8b10-8b10-8b10r8p6---6--8-6-8/10---8h10---8h10---8h10---8h10---8-|
A|---------------------8---------------------------8---------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------8------8------8------8------8------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-8h10---8h10---8h10---8h10---8h10----------8b10-8b10-8b10r8p6---6--8-6-8b10-8b10-8b10r8p6---6--|
A|------------------------------------11-8\6--------------------8---------------------------8----|
E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|----------------------------------------------------|
B|----------------------------------------------------|
G|----------8------8------8------8------8-10--13--15--|
D|-8-6-8/10---8h10---8h10---8h10---8h10---------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------|
"Ooooowooowoooowoooo..."
e|------------------------------------------------------|
B|-13tr----16tr-13tr--16tr-13tr--16tr-------------------|
G|------------------------------------12tr~~~-13tr-15tr-|
D|------------------------------------------------------| x2
A|------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|
After the solo it goes back to the guitar breakdown and then two guitars play different
riffs at the same time:
e|------------16----|
B|------16h18-------|
G|------------------| x10
D|------------------|
A|------------------|
E|------------------|
and
e|------------------|
B|---------14-------|
G|---13h15----------| x10
D|------------------|
A|------------------|
E|------------------|
Then another riff with two guitars:
e|----------11------|
B|----11h13---------|
G|------------------| x10
D|------------------|
A|------------------|
E|------------------|
and
e|------------------|
B|----------11------|
G|----10h12---------| x10
D|------------------|
A|------------------|
E|------------------|
After doing that twice, it's back to the "Oooowooowoowooo.." section. Then it's one last
guitar riff to finish it off:
e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|-10-8-8-------------------------------------8-8-------------------------------------------------|
D|--------------------------------------10-10-----------------------------------------------------|
A|--------11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-----------10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10----|
E|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
x4 (sometimes bend that last note)
Ending power chord:
e|----------------------|
B|----------------------|
G|----------------------|
D|---11~~~~~~~~---------|
A|---11~~~~~~~~---------|
E|---9~~~~~~~~~---------|
And that's it, please leave some feedback if you think I have something wrong.
Thanks!
