The View From This Tower Tab

This song is amazing. The final chords may be a little off.
This is also my first time publishing tabs typed like this, so bare
with me and refer to the song for timing and rests.
 
Tuning: Drop D (DADGBe)
*Note: The low D is only really used in the chaos at the end, so dropping
isn't necessary for most of the song.

they jam on this a fair bit, and switch to just playing the 5 of the A (D) with
some 3 of the A(C) thrown in. Also tremolos a bit on the 7th of the G
and plays the clean section an octave up on that.
 
Final chords (may be off, and have some playing around in them)

When I leave here I'll be glad
Much like the ones that drove me out
Their smiling heads bag as one
Taking care, nurture your ego
 
But we're not being chosen the truth they bear

I said let them play with their power and fracture
Let's take on something less petty
I'm ready to move on
I'm ready
 
* only plays the first time and last time as transfers.
End on A B S O L U T E  C H A O S as the tower is torn to the ground!
