Note: I am NOT the transcriber of these songs, I am just reposting it as 
someone else had requested it. The name of those who figued out these 
songs appear somewhere in this file I think.
Also in the next little while I hope to figure out a few other songs, 
like Intolerance and 4 Degrees.

From: jonriley@indirect.com (Jon Riley)
Subject: TAB: Prison Sex (Tool)

I believe I remember someone requesting whatever Tool songs anyone might 
have. I looked around Nevada, and they don't even have a Tool directory.
So I took it upon myself to whip this up. I didn't have the tape with me, 
so if there are any mistakes, they're probably my on errors in playing 
the song, and there are lots of different fingerings you can use with 
this song. Oh well, at least it sounds right to *me*... I can guarantee 
the timing isn't accurate.

I also know just about everything on Undertow. I might get around to 
posting them, but I'm not to good at transcription, and Tool songs aren't 
too easy to transcribe...

(tool always plays in drop d, you guys are hearing the bass)

unisonbender said February 14, 2005 at 03:01

If you have looked at this tab you'll notice that there are two versions by different authors.
I gave my 10 to the first one, the guy who wrote the second one must have been smoking sumthin...
Well maybe that's a bit harsh, but the second tab has got some problems: the tuning is wrong (not drop d,
should be drop b), a few riffs are wrong and the "pseudo-song" is a bit dodgy too.
