Although I must disagree with those who think that this and "Touching Tongues" are the best songs on the album; what about "Sex & Religion" or "Survive"? Those songs kick ass! I didn't tab "Touching Tongues" because the rhythm track requires a 7- string guitar, and the lead requires delay and a WHAMMY pedal. I don't think the average guitarist has those things handy. :) Anyway, all you need for this song is an acoustic guitar, an eletric guitar, and a hell of a lot of patience! Some of the chords are a pain in the ass (or should I say fingers?). Some notes on the way I do ascii tab: "p" - pull-off "h" - hammer-on "v"s in front of a chord - upstroke "nh" - natural harmonic Rescue Me or Bury Me by Steve Vai Tab by Dave Whitehill for Hal Leonard Corp. ||---0-------0-----0-----|---------------------|---------0-------| ||-0---0-------0-----0---|-------------------3-|-3/5p3-----3-----| ||-4-----4-------------4-|-0---------------2---|p0-----5-----5-4-| ||-7-------7-----7-------|-0-----7\5-----0-----|-----------------| ||-5---------------------|-5-------------------|-----------------| ||-3---------------------|-3-3/5-----0h3-------|-----------------| ----0-----------0---------||-------0-------------0-----------------| --3---3-------3---3-------||-----3---3---------1---1---------------| --------0---0-------0-----||---0-------0-----0-------0-------------| 5---------4-----------4h5-||\3-----------3-2-----------2-3-2h3p2p0-| --------------------------||---------------------------------------| --------------------------||---------------------------------------| --3---0---------|-----0-----------------|---------| --3-----3-------|-3-----3---------------|-----3---| --0-------0-----|-0-------0-------------|-----0---| ------------0---|-0---------0-----------|-----2---| 3-3-----------3-|-2-----------2-3-2h3p2p|-0---0---| ----------------|-----------------------|---------| nh nh nh nh 0---------------------|--v0---0-|-----5---------------7-------12---| --3-------------------|--v1---1-|-----5-------5-------7-------12---| ----0-----------------|--v2p0-0-|-----5-------5-------7-------12---| ------2---------------|--v3---3-|-------------5--------------------| --------0-3-2h3p2p0---|---------|-2/3---3-5/7---7-5-5---5/7/8----8-| --------------------3-|-1-------|----------------------------------| nh nh nh nh nh nh ------7---------------------------------------|-----------7---------|| ------7-----------12--------------------------|---------------------|| ------7----------------------12---------------|---7---------------0-|| ---------------------------------------12-----|---------------------|| 10-10---8-------------------------------------|---------------------|| ----------10-9/10----12\10-8----10\8-7----8\7-|-5---7\5p3---5\3-1---|| It gets really orchestrated and complex after this.
