                             LAY DOWN - Priestess
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed By:BOBTHEWEAZEL, With Assistance From DimebagZappa
Email:captain-jesus@hotmail.com
 
Tuning:1/2 Step Down
 
 
NOTE A: The End Of The Chorus Riff Consists Of Two Regular Power Chords
    And One Palm Muted One. Check Out The Choruses To See What I Mean, The
    Palm Muted Chords Are Marked By An * Directly Beneath. The Muted Chords
    Are Not Very Pronounced At All, But Do Exist. They Don't, Most May
    Argue, But Most Would Be Wrong. Apparently, Guitar Hero Verifies This,
    If You're Interested. Thanks To DimebagZappa For Pointing Out The Chord.
 
There Were Some Close Ones And Some Terrible Ones. These Are The Correct
Notes On The Correct Parts Of The Fret Board (Watch Priestess Play It).
Times Are Approximate. 2 Guitars Play The Same Except For Solo.
 
Also, They Got An Organ In On The Action For The Studio Version. It's Only Apparent A Few
Times, But If It's Not Tabbed Here, It Is Probably The Organ.

Ok so at 0:58 into the song theres quite obviously muted notes being played. That 'alt riff' is played several times throughout the song. Also in the solo... You ****ing nailed it. Lol. The missing bit is easy. When you play the 220 220, bit in the riff add a mute then another 220, then 220, 220, mute, 220 again... Then into the decending power chords 553(x6) 442(x6). I know its lame. But if you watch the guitar hero version it kinda verifies my little riff. So will a good hard listen between 0:58-1:01. Other than that great job.

On closer inspection, the 14 on the A# string in the second half of guitar1's solo should be 15. :P

The Only Variations In The Song I Can Hear, And What You May Be Talking About, Are Played On A Rock Organ Which Was Added In For The Studio Recording. Throughout Most Of The Song The Organ Cannot Be Heard At All And May Not Even Be Playing, But A Few Parts Where It Is Pronounced Are Around (On My Version) 00:29, 00:36, 01:15, 01:19, 01:24, 01:29, 01:32, 02:07, 02:18, 02:27, 03:00, Throughout The Solo, And In A Few Other Parts. I Did Attempt To Tab The Organ Parts To Include Them As Fills, Since Two Guitars Playing The Same Thing May Be Boring, But Since I Cannot Se An Organist Play Them Live And They Are So Unpronounced Within The Track It Proved Too Difficult To Pick Out The Exact Notes At The Time, Perhaps Though, I Shall Take A Second Look. I Do Still Play Along With The Track Occasionally And If I Hear Any Other Variations I Shall Look Into Them. Thank You For The Comment. Also, If Any One Wants To Try To Tab The Organ Part, Send Me A Copy- If It Sounds Good I'll Add It To My Tab And Give You Credit.
