Album: In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:3
tabbed by alex bresee A.K.A. dranyam
Disclaimer: as with all my coheed tabs, this is not EXACTLY what mike is playing. like all good bassists, what he plays can't really be properly captured in tab form.
 this will give you an idea of how to play this song, HOWEVER i do not claim that this is perfect. whoever mixed coheed's albums likes turning down the bass a lot =/

 means slide down
/ means slide up
words in ( ) are lyrics, they correspond to the line beneath them
words in { } are instructions, they correspond to the line above them
this song is in 6/8 time, meaning that there are 6 notes in a measure. ph33r.

{this starts the "chorus" part}

{this line and the next is sprinkled with 5ths. i didn't write them in because they aren't THAT important, but he is playing them. if you dont know what a 5th is, dont worry about it. just play up and string
 and up two frets from where you're playing at the moment... so if you're playing 4 on the a string, then the fifth would be 6 on the d string. pretty simple, throw them in where it sounds appropriate}
