Song: Q
Band: Cartel
Album: Chroma (2005)
Tabbed by: Fred Hatfull
Email: lurkingfridge79 (at) gmail (dot) com
Tuning: Drop Db (DbAbDbGbBbeb)
Notes: This is a neatly composed but very simple run up
to the last song on the album. This song is a lot of fun to play
and pretty easy to pick up. There may be some errors on the rhythm
so don't rely on it too heavily, although I think I did get pretty
close. Just listen to the song. It will all fall together! I tabbed
out the main parts the first time they're run through, then just
made references to them to complete the order of the song. Lyrics
are included for your enjoyment!
Amp Settings: Plenty of overdrive - Don't go overboard but you should
have more than enough to get that juicy palm muted sort of sound.

(Verse)
Well here goes nothing yeah I'm standing up
And I'll get nothing if it's not enough
But they won't say what they're holding back from us
(Prechorus)
And so it comes down and I don't know anything
It always comes around
And fighting always seems just like
(Chorus)
That I'll never know
And you never will
Still I'll never know
And you won't until someone stands up
Then you'll get some answers
That I'll never know
And you never will
Still I'll never know
And you won't until someone stands up
Then you'll get some answers
(Verse)
I'll tell you this is something that you'll never hear
They knew it then and they've been holding back for years
And if you're not getting answers ask better questions...
(Chorus)
That I'll never know
And you never will
Still I'll never know
And you won't until someone stands up
Then you'll get some answers
That I'll never know
And you never will
Still I'll never know
And you won't until someone stands up
Then you'll get some answers
