Guitar 1(Steven Wilson): EADGBe (Standard)
Guitar 2 (John Wesley) : DADGBe (Drop D)

-John Wesley does indeed play this song in drop D. Since there's no low D in this song, 
 I assume the reason is for more comfort playing the power chords. For this reason you can 
 play the 2nd guitar part in standard. Just move every note on the low E string down two frets.

-This song uses the time signature 7/8.
-This tab is based off the live version played on their DVD "Anesthetize".
-Chords shown using chord symbols are only played by the keyboards 
 unless told to be played on the guitar.
-This song can be soloed over in A pentatonic for beginners, and for more
 experienced soloists the chord changes are shown.

A                                   F#m7
   Inside the vehicle the cold is extreme
F                                                G
   Smoke in my throat kicks me out of my dream

   I try to relax but it's warmer out-side
F                                             G
   I fail to connect, it's a tragic divide

A                                 F#m7  
   Gun down a school or blow up a car
