Heavens, the highly-anticipated reult of Alkaline Trio member Matt Skiba and his roomate
from Theives Like Us, is blazing onto the music scene September 12.  They've released
one song, this one I am about to tab out for you.  I heard it and loved so I decided to 
the entire thing out.  I'm happy to let UG have it first.

Artist:  Heavens
Song:  Patent Pending
Album: To Be Announced
Record Label: Epitaph


There are two guitars at the begining of this song.  The main riff is the first one
here, and the second you can hear in the backround over-top:

Intro:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------|X4
--2-2---4-4---5-5---4-4---7-7---5-4-0--0---------------------------------|

Guitar 2:
---------------------------|
---------------------------|
---------------------------|
--12---9~--7--9~---12-14~--|
---------------------------|
---------------------------|

Verse:
Now, if you've heard the song, you know it's not really just distorted, or even
power-chords.  So for this section, I don't want you to play ska chords, but i would 
you to
the first note on an upstroke and then continue, hitting the majority of the mutes with 
downstroke.
So when you're hitting the notes, try hitting the G and D strings first.

--------------------------------------------(Pickslide)----------------------|
Place a curse, on the hearse we're driving, cut the break lines and a dying
Glad to be, tramatically, against the ropes lost all hopes trying
Finding ways to break the silence, and to quench our taste for violence
Shadow-free monstrosities crafting up ? ? ? ?

Now, the verse goes a bit odd here.  What's going to happen is that one guitarist
to upstroke, but quitely with no root note on the E or A, while another palm-mutes the intro.
for yourself:

Outro:
This time Guitar 2 is a little different, so take note.

Guitar 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------|X8
--2-2---4-4---5-5---4-4---7-7---5-4-0--0---------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Guitar 2:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
--12---9~--7--9~---12-14--12-9--12--9--7--9~---12-14--12-9-----------------|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

End on:

-----
-----
-----
--0--
-----
-----

Or, for more drama, end on:
-----
-----
--9--
--9--
--7--
-----

So that's it.  A lot more complicated then I thought when I first heard the song, but it
fun to tab out and I hope you find it accurate enough.  Once again, I'm proud to
this first on UG.
