This Apparatus Must Be Unearthed

Intro: (distorted)
e-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-6-6-6-6-6-6-|
B-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-|
G-------------------------------------------------|
D-------------------------------------------------|
A-------------------------------------------------|
E-------------------------------------------------|
repeat x4, then for the next 4 bars, just pick one of the top strings
and slide your finger up the neck. don't worry about hitting a certain
fret it's pretty much random.

chorus:
     "i've been waitin for so       long      for"
e----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------------------|
G-------------------------------------------3-3-3----------------------|
repeat x8 played fast.


i'm pretty sure this next part is improvised but i've tabbed out the first
appearance of it in the song to use as a guide. also, know that this song
is played in the key of B minor. so don't memorize the tab!

                         "came here on time, hope that it's not too late."
e---------------------7------------------------------------------------|
B-14-14----12-11-14\6----14--------12----------------------------------|
G-16---15----------------16--10--10---9-7------------------------------|
D--------16--------------------12---------7-9--------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E-(no distortion)-----------(distortion)-------------------------------|

e-------------------5--------------------------------------------------|
B--3-0--------5-0-3------14------15--14---17---------------------------|
G-----------4------------16--------16----------------------------------|
D-------5-4------------------------------------------------------------|
A----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E------------------------(no distoriton)-------------------------------|

go back and do the chorus again with distortion and then do the last part
again too.

the solo:
this consists of two guitar parts that play along the same rhythm. i
put both guitar parts on the same chart but that doesn't mean one
guitarist plays both of them. also, you have to learn the rhythm yourself.

DISTORTED
e-14----10-12---------------------19-18-17----------------|
B-12-12-11-12-14-8----------12--7-12-11-14-14-10-11----12-|

D-------------------8--9--8-------------------------11----|
A------------------------------------------------------13-|
E---------------------------------------------------------|
rep'd twice. also, i'm sure this isn't 100% correct.

UN-DISTORTED
 "This is the last time..."
e----------------------------------------------------------------------|
B----14-15-14-----------------------------------------------14---------|
G-16----------16-------15-16-15---------15-16-15---------15----15------|
D-------------------16----------16---16----------16---16----------16---|
A----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E----------------------------------------------------------------------|
this part loops for a while then it gets distorted again
