Failure By Design Tab

alright, i'm really not tired at all and i have nothing to do, which means i'm probably
going to put a lot of time into this to make it as accurate as possible. There's a lot
of picky little details in there if you listen to the song closely and i'm gonna try to
get all those in there too. This song is really pretty cool i think, i like it a lot. So
here it is.... enjoy. love ya mom. It's all tuned down JUST a little bit, not even a
half step, so i'm not even going to put any notes for the strings on the left. If you
like it, please rate it high, I think this is the only full and accurate tab of this
song that there is on the internet, i've been looking everywhere.

guitar uno, slightly distorted- the beginning

That's the whole little beginning part for the first guitar part, play it twice.
shortly after the words srart going, the drums and the second guitar come in. Here's
the second guitar part, dont hurt yourself trying to play this!It might not be right
because you really cant hear it over the other guitar, but it doesn't matter because
it's a stupid, easy background part and nobody likes it!

play this TWO times.

alright, now for the second part. I guess this is what you would call the pre-chorus.
It's where it's all like "dont believe in filler baby" or whatever the words are. It's
much more distorted than the beginning.

                   ^comes in on the offbeat. listen closely to it to get it.

That's the whole first part of the song. Chorus is pretty easy, it gets led into by
"THIS IS OVER!" Love this song so much. here's the chorus. play this twice, it's got
split endings though.

Those stars are natural harmonics. now play the whole thing again, then there's just
one more part to learn! Here it is. This is where everything kinda dies down, then
builds up again.

YES! Now just play the chorus, and those few chords that lead into the chorus, and
that's the end of the song! This is the first tab I've EVER done, EVER, so if you
like it or thought it was decent, rate it high. Thanks, your friend, T.
