tuning - Bb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
tabbed by jjhand
 
 
More heavy riffs from Tremonti's low-tuned axe. I suggest a 0.060 gauge
or so string for the low B to avoid excess slack. Please rate/comment!
Main Riff was updated 2/9/12 using youtube footage of his solo lesson.

[Verse 1]
 
Play Main Riff Again
 
Lyrics:
"A tireless stream of indifference flows
through veins 'till the river runs dry
I no longer care, I have all but disposed
of dreams that I once held inside.
 
Desire is gone after all of these years
the fight has been lost, I concede.
The apathy born a long time ago
has grown to what I can't defeat"
