Title: Brain Stew
Tabbed by: Tweek
Tuning: Eb Bb Gb Db Ab Eb standard & down a half step

(ring out = ~)

I swear to you people, this is one of the easiest songs you'll ever play, please understand. I warn you, dont try too hard, its too simple. If you try too much,
I swear to you, it'll make you nose bleed. Its simple power chords over and over, with minor modifications in chorus.Just let your hands flow to it, its very easy, very beginner. Good luck, you wont need it.


Intro:
distorted: 0:00 - 0:38 (words come in 3rd time through)

I personally think this sounds right if you just let off the notes a little bit instead of palm muting, kinda just let off pressure on the chord.

Chorus:
1:16 - 1:29

I'm having trouble trying to sleep
I'm counting sheep but running out
As time ticks by
And still I try
No rest for crosstops in my mind

On my own... here we go

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
F*ck*d up and spun out in my room

On my own... here we go

My mind is set on overdrive
The clock is laughing in my face
A crooked spine
My sense dulled
Passed the point of delerium

On my own... here we go

My eyes feel like they're gonna bleed
Dried up and bulging out my skull
My mouth is dry
My face is numb
F*ck*d up and spun out in my room

On my own... here we go

This song is tuned down a half step. For such an "easy" song, you seemed to miss the main detail.
scrittyscritty Unknown Date
in the chorus i use harmonics but keep the chord shape
skatesnowgreendaygeekskatesnowgreendaygeek Unknown Date
the palm muting parts sound great without all that effecty stuff.just make your guitar heavily distorted.

In the chorus, just before the secoond statement there is an open note on the low E string- After the first palm mute and so on 'till the end of the chorus.

punkertonpunkerton Unknown Date
why do so many people think this song is in standard tuning? are you all tone deaf? its a HALF STEP DOWN. easy song yet so many people can't hear that.
fransversion01fransversion01 Unknown Date
I've alweays played this song with standard tuning. And I've found that for the intro, you can play it the same as the original tabber showed, but without holding the seventh fret on the D string (That's the fourth string, unless you do it the other way, in which caase it's the third string.)
fransversion01fransversion01 Unknown Date
Sorry about my last correction, it's not only sevrenth fret, all of them. You can play the intro without holding down the fourth string.

This song is standard tuning down 1/2 a step like the tabber said, not drop d down 1/2 a step, you use 3 note powerchords, not 2 like the tabber said.
