"Used to be a bunch of ass-holes that lived in this part of the building here but we systematically removed them like you would any kind of termite or roach." - MJK Approximate rythyms are shown Tuning is in drop-D fashion - DADGBE Figure 1. ------------------------------ ------------------------------ -----9-10--9-----9-10-9------- ---7--7-------7---7----8------ ------------------------------ ------------------------------ ^pulloff Repeat 4 times.

"...takes longer to catch a total ass hole." Whether these notes are in triplets or whatever, is beyond my scope of musical knowledge. Its pretty fast and hard to hear exactly how many times each chord structure is played so the above may not be perfect. However, for each G chord (5-5) the first one on its own (ie. the first of every set of 4) is attacked slightly harder than the other three. This is needed to produce the same rhythmic effect found on the album. You will also need to master a fast picking style. If you can't, then you should learn how before attempting the majority of most heavy metal songs, such as those by Metallica. Figure 6. ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- ---5--0-5--0-5--0-8--0-3-3-3-0---------- ---5--0-5--0-5--0-8--0-3-3-3-0---------- ---5--0-5--0-5--0-8--0-3-3-3-0---------- Repeat 4 times. Figure 2 four times. Figure 3 two times. "Someone told me once that theres a right and wrong. Punishment was cure for those who dare to cross our ..." Figure 4 four times. "lines but it must not be true for jerk offs just like you and ..." Figure 5 four times. "maybe its just bullshit, I should play God and shoot you myself!" Figure 6 four times. Figure 2 one time. "Tired of waiting." Figure 7.1 ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ -----2-3--2---2-3-2-----3-4--3----3-4-3--- ------------------------------------------ ---2--2-----2--2----4-3--3------3--3----3- Repeat 2 times, omitting last note on second round Figure 7.2 ---------------------- ---------------------- ---------------------- ------5-6--5---5-6-5-- ---------------------- ---6-5-5-----5--5----- Repeat two times.

If consequences dictate a course of action I should, I should play God and just ... Shoot you myself!" Figure 6 four times. "Tired of waiting." Figure 9. -------------------------------- -------------------------------- -------------------------------- -------------------------------- ---14(14)----------------------- ---14(14)----------------------- Pick these two notes together very fast, in a manner similar to that used in figure 5, for 4 bars. Figure 10. ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- ---12---15---10---7--10/12-12/15--- ---10---13---8----5---8/10-10/13--- ----------------------------------- Repeat 4 times.

Comments: "a little confusing; overall good."
Here's my shot at a tab for Opiate. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. Show it to your friends or just stick it up on the page. If you like it, or get a good reaction, e-mail me and I'll work up some more.

=============================== SWEAT by TOOL- OPIATE track #1 =============================== I first transcribed this song almost a year ago. Since then a new version of the tab has been posted and my guitar abilities have improved greatly. In light of these two developments (along with the fact that my first tab sucked and the additional tab still had errors in it) I sat down and re-did the tab. So, here is a hybrid of my original SWEAT tab and the one submitted by Michael Gonsalves (gonsalve@winnie.fit.edu): thanks for your insights KEY: ________________________ | | | X = blocking | | x = palm muting | | / = slide | | p = pull off | | h = hammer on | | | | |----| | | |.--.| | | |.--.| means repeat | | |----| | |________________________| The riffs are in the same order they occur in the song: INTRO ----- E|-----------------------------------------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------------------------------------| D|--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--| A|--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--| D|--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--1--0--1--3--4--3--4--| E|------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------3--| G|---------------------------------------------------------------2--| D|--1--0--1--3--4--3-----1------1-1-1-1------1-0------1-0-0------0--| A|--1--0--1--3--4--3--0--1------1-1-1-1------1-0------1-0-0------0--| D|--1--0--1--3--4--3--0--1------1-1-1-1------1-0------1-0-0------0--| sustain MAIN RIFF --------- E|------------------------------------------------| B|------------------------------------------------| G|------------------------------------------------| D|--2----------2-----------2----------2-----------| A|--2----1p0---2----3p0----2----1p0---2----3p0----| D|--2--0-1p0-2-2--0-3p0-2--2--0-1p0-0-2--0-3p0-2--| CHORUS RIFF A - PLAY TWICE THEN GO TO B ------------- E|----------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------| G|--|----------------------------------------------------|--| D|--|.2---2-0h2---5--5-5/7\5---2---2-0h2---5--5-5/7\5p0h.|--| A|--|.2---2-0h2---5--5-5/7\5---2---2-0h2---5--5-5/7\5p0h.|--| D|--|-2---2-0h2---5--5-5/7\5---2---2-0h2---5--5-5/7\5p0h-|--| Feels like...
