Tool – Parabola Acoustic chords

A Tool Acoustic Tab

There's one I thought would never happen. It took me some time to figure
 this one out, mainly because there are so many variations in this song.

Also, this is how I hear it. I think its pretty much correct. To get it to
 sound like the song, you're going to have to be able to hear the rhythm 
correctly. Mostly it sounds like a funk song played on the acoustic. 

However, I am pretty sure that this is correct. I've derived the chords from
 what I hear of the bass line and how they seem to be functioning in the 
harmony. Please let me know what you think.

Vamp on EmThis body holding me reminds me of my own mortality.

There are a million rhythmic variations in the song and though the chords 
work, the rhythm is something youre going to have to figure out on your own.
 As to some of the chord voicings, I play the main riff D at the 5th fret 
and hammer on to Em7 at the 7th fret.

The chords at 3:30 sound nice if you just strum them once playing the triads
 with the highest note on 7th (Em), 5th(D) and 10th (D) frets (two of these voicings are also used in stairway to heaven).

PM me if you want something clarified.
