theSTART - Death Via Satellite tabbed by TveronicaFusion (TveronicaFusion@yahoo.com) Drop D Tuning (E B G D A D) There are two guitar parts for this, guitar 2 doesn't have to be played it is only there to mimic the synthesizer that they use for the song. However this probably would sound better if you could find a friend to play the second guitar part with you. If you're only gonna play it by yourself I suggest only playing Guitar 1. To figure out the timing I suggest listening to the song as I'm not all that good at explaining the timing of it all. INTRO (the top notes don't have to be played as it's a little harder, I just like the way it sounds.. a little closer to Guitar 1 the original song) |---------------------5-------------------5------ |------------------------------------------------ |------------------------------------------------ |------------------------------------------------ X2 |------------------------------------------------ |-----6-6-6-6-6-6-6-5-7---6-6-6-6-6-6-6-5-7------ VERSE 1 Guitar 1 -------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------5-5---------5-5-------- ---------6-6---------6-6---4-4---4-4---4-4-------- -----6---6-6---6-6---6-6---2-2---4-4---2-2---7-7-- -----6---4-4---6-6---4-4---------2-2---------7-7-- -----6---------6-6---------------------------7-7-- "Politically Compulsory Guitar 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------5-5---------5-5--------------------- ----------6-6---------6-6---4-4---4-4---4-4---4----------------- ----6-6---6-6---6-6---6-6---2-2---4-4---2-2---4-7-7-7----------- ----6-6---4-4---6-6---4-4---------2-2---------2-7-7-7----------- ----6-6---------6-6-----------------------------7-7-7----------- Routine They spin it to shift all of the blame (WHAT THEY SAY!)

This song really isn't as complicated as it looks, the only hard part is figuring out the rhythm to the parts for guitar 2. I know they don't sound right by themselves but if you listen to the song closely those are the right strings for the synthesizer notes. You just have to figure out the rhythm. Guitar 1 is basically power chords the whole time and alot easier to learn. This took me 3 hours to tab out this morning while listening to the song on my computer. I'm looking forward to the next one I can figure out.
