Pain Of Salvation - Idiocracy Transcribed by Travis Lausch It was actually a more difficult song to transcribe than I thought, as the intro riffs two guitars playing what one guitar usually could, as well as the intense layering of in the verses and choruses. I basically tabbed out what I could, so apologies if vital is missing. I know I kinda skipped the ending with the acoustic guitar solo and but it's pretty buried in the piano, so I couldn't quite pick it all out.

Outro is all piano and a bit of acoustic guitar soloing. It's all based in the A minor boxes at the fifth and tenth frets, and is quite buried beneath the piano, making it to transcribe at this time.
