As with lots of Tool songs, it's Drop D tuned. Bear with me. My rhythem ain't so good / = slide up \ = slide down ~ = bend Opening: (slowly) low D: -0--0--6--6-6----6/////////12--12 Opening Part Riff: d -5--5-6-6-6-6-0-3-3-3-2-0-0-0 muted 2-3------0 A -5--5-6-6-6-6-0-3-3-3-2-0-0-0 then 2-3------0 D -5--5-6-6-6-6-0-3-3-3-2-0-0-0 slowly 2-3------0 lowder When Opening Part Riff is repeated: d -5--5-6-6-6-6-0-3-3-3-2-0-0-0-6 | A -5--5-6-6-6-6-0-3-3-3-2-0-0-0-6 :| rinse and repeat D -5--5-6-6-6-6-0-3-3-3-2-0-0-0-6 | Main Part Riff (single string): A -3-5-6-5-0-3-5-0-6-5-0-3-0 :| rinse and repeat Main Part Riff (chords): d -3-5-6-5-0-3-5-0-6-5-0-3-0 :| A -3-5-6-5-0-3-5-0-6-5-0-3-0 :| rinse and repeat D -3-5-6-5-0-3-5-0-6-5-0-3-0 :| When Maynard says "This ground is not the rock I thought it would be", you play: d -3---3---3---3---0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0 A -3---3---3---3---0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0 D -3---3---3---3---0-0--0-0--0-0--0-0 When he says "I was wrong.
