Tool, Manrta. Tabbed by Kyle McIntyre, moonsblade@hotmail.com. Tool Album: Lateralus Song: Mantra Tabbed by: Kyle McIntyre Moonsblade@hotmail.com Please send feedback. Should I ever tab again, should I die? Or did you kindof like it? Okay, well I'm not posting this in the false pretense that I have it a 100% correct or 100% complete, but I think I accurately transcribed a large amount of this song, definently enough to cover it. I hope you enjoy it. This uses two guitars but you can figure out when to play the parts just by listening. Standard Tuning Opening Riff: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- --------14--14--9--9--10--10--12--12--10--10--9--9--3--3--------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 12--12----------------------------------------------------------------- Onto the heavy! *this can be played with double strokes or not* ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -2--14--9--10--12--10--9--5-------------------------------------------- -2--14--9--10--12--10--9--5-------------------------------------------- -0--12--7--8---10--8---7--3-------------------------------------------- Next Stanza: Some out of tune sounding chord that is cool but I'm not sure if I figured it out right, this is how I play it. ----------------------------------------------------------{------------- ----------------------------------------------------------{------------- --3--------------------3----------------------------------{------------- --2-------X--X--X--X---2----------------------------------{-14---------- --2-------X--X--X--X---2----------------------------------{-14---------- --0-------X--X--X--X---0----------------------------------{-12---------- [Repeat 4 times, on 4th time use only 3 string scratches] Enter Lyrics: This part makes you sound really cool (even if you aren't) :P Palm Mute is pretty heavy so that the bass really hums. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- --0--0--12--12--7--7--8--8--10-10--8--8--7--7--3--3-------------------- After a few stanzas the first solo joins in with the verse section. Then it moves back to the heavy part (wee!!) with a few extra string scratches in there, I'm sure you can figure it out. Okay this next part is the most iffy of my transcription, but I know the notes I have are rights, it's all the damn mutes that make it a litte rough. I think this sounds right though, you slide between these chords. Starts with 8 string mutes and then ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ----98--87--76---65-----X--X--X--X--2----X--X--X--X--2--------------- ----98--87--76---65-----X--X--X--X--2----X--X--X--X--2------------------ ----76--65--54---43-----X--X--X--X--0----X--X--X--X--0--------------- Add some mutes in there, lol. Now go back to that rather Odd chord I mentioned before, the 3rd section.
