Tabbed by: BenG
Artist: furtherSEEMSforever
Song Title: Aurora Borealis (in long form)
Album: how to start a fire
Tuning: Drop D
The Intro is played during the entire song. However, a recording of the
Intro itslef gets slowed down and overlaps the Verses as the track
progresses. So during this point in the song, just keep playing the Intro
guitar. I have shown when and where to play the second guitar.
h - hammer on
p - pull off
b - bend string up
r - release bend
/ - slide up
\ - slide down
v - vibrato (sometimes written as ~)
t - right hand tap
x - play 'note' with heavy damping

Play both the Intro and the 2nd guitar for the 3rd Verse ("Cut out my eyes
to spite my heart...") After he sings ("Assignments pile up") they will
repeat the 3rd Verse again. So play as you did in the 2nd Verse with both
guitars
Lyrics:
Oh my God I've been waiting for you all of my life the trees are tired
from breathing sharks keep moving never stopping sharks keep moving on cut
out my eyes to spite my heart wish for sleep but never stopping assignments
pile up. Watch out baby going way to fast without eyes in the back of your
never know where you came from please let me crash now break my body split
myself in two split my self into you.
