Days Turn Blue to gray Machine Head Through the Ashes of Empires tabbed by: Dave (blinkinginthegreenday@yahoo.co.uk) This tab is not 100% corrcet because to get it 100% you have to de-tune and i dont lyk de-tuning but it works this way because its the same thing just a octav higher in some places. all the timings should be corrct atho if i have got any of it wrong feel free to email me bout it!!! enjoy!!!

Please help me see What did I do? Did I hurt you? And now that you're gone Emptiness lives on The guilt is all I feel No closure Father Motherfucker No closure The strings of my heart You pulled on endlessly This twine is severed In tragedy Father Mother Destroyer Destroy her Your self-destruction What made you feel alive Your self-destruction Of your children's Lives
