Drop-D tuning down a whole-step
Comments: A monster of a tuning this. I recommend a set-neck guitar or a
through-body. String it with at least 11s otherwise the low E-string (now
C-string) will go out of tune in a second. Rhy. Figs 1a and 1b seem to be
backwards as are Riffs 2, 3a and 3b. They have been notated here as they
sound.
Key:
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
b = bend (whole step)
b^ = bend (1/2 step)
b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb = pre-bend
r = release-bend
t = tap with righthand finger
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
~ = Vibrato
* = Natural Harmonic
#(#) = Trill
** = Artificial Harmonic
x = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
(\) = Dive w\bar
(/) = Release w\bar
Tp = Tap w\plectrum

Very wide
Within
Simmons
[Rhy. Fig 1a and Rhy. Fig 1b]
[Rhy. Fig 2]
Cry without tears
See without sight
Night without day
And every day¥s black as the night
[Riff 1]
Fly without wings
Feel without touch
Touch without feel
And everywhere nothing is real
[Rhy. Fig 4]
[Rhy. Fig 3]
I wanna see from within
I wanna be where I¥ve been
I know a truth from a lie
I wanna live ¥fore I die
[Riff 2]
Life without death
World without end
Sleep without dreams
And nothing is quite what it seems
[Rhy. Fig 5a and Rhy. Fig 5b]
I want something
More than you¥ll know
Follow myself
And go where you never can go
[Rhy. Fig 4]
And I see though my eyes are closed
[Rhy. Fig 3]
I wanna see from within
I wanna be where I¥ve been
I know a truth from a lie
I wanna live ¥fore I die
[Riff 3a and Riff 3b]
Inside you without your blessing
Inside me is me confessing
Outside you is outside me
[Rhy. Fig 6]
And inside there is no guarantee, no
[Rhy. Fig 7]
[Rhy. Fig 8a and Rhy. Fig 8b]
[Rhy. Fig 9 with Riff 4] (2x)
[Rhy. Fig 3]
I wanna see from within
I wanna be where I¥ve been
I know a truth from a lie
I wanna live ¥fore I die
[Rhy. Fig 10 with Riff 5]
Cry without tears
Night without day
[Rhy. Fig 10 with Riff 6] (fade out)
