"Eye of the Storm"

About A Burning Fire (2003/Elektra/3 Points)
tabulture interpreted/written/transcribed by Zak Hall

Note: this is my best interpretation of what is being played, and is probably in some
inaccurate, and I am aware of that, however, I put this out here because I believe it
is enough to place out there, and is probably more accurate than most unofficial tabs,
because I am avidly against stupidly inaccurate tabs.
legend:
#'s (1,2,3...) = fret number / note to be held, not finger placed there necessarily
x =palm mute
x##...=palm mute fret number
|| =end of phrase/measure(s)
|||| = repeat phrase/measure(s)
(#) = harmonics (on that fret)
x(#) = harmonic strum
# + # = hammer-on
# * # = pull-off
@# = vibrato
# ^ (#) = bend note up (#) steps
# / # = slide up
# \ # = slide down
$# = sweep pick
[#] = optional (would fit, and/or sounds like it's being played, though not certain)
#______ = hold out
Tuning:
Down a half-step (low-to-high)
(Eb, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, eb)
Note: For future reference, through out this tab, the strings will be labeled without
flats, however they are still in the tuning above, this merely saves me, the tabber,
time.

Verse Riff: (slightly distorted, then fully distorted)
("I think I've stayed for the last time...") starts on "stayed"
