                         As recorded by A Perfect Circle
                        (From the 2000 Album MER DE NOMS)

Words and Music by Maynard James Keenan and Billy Howerdel
Transcribed by Josh

This is in 6/8, time if you care.

I have tabbed only the main guitars; there are many underneath
to make the song thicker.

Palm Mutes (PMs) shown by "." under number.
 / = legato slide up
 \ = legato slide down
 x = muted note
 h = hammer-on
 p = pull-off
 b = bend
 r = release bend
(#)= number of steps for a bend
 % = short (16th) rest

Tunings for all guitars: (low to high) B F# B E G# C#
