Intro:
Bb G Bb CC A Ab G F# F
Blind
me with ambition like a razor to the throat
Cast
aside your foolish pride I'll cast the final vote
The
feelings you've been waiting for are clawing thru your skin
And
if you look above you'll see the vultures moving in
This
part 2x:
C#
Timing
is everything that much I know.
Sometimes
I'm faster and sometimes I'm slow
I
exceed expectations but some days I'm told
B
To
go to the end of the line.
C#
But
when I can't be what's expected of me
I
look at the clock and say this can't be
Watching
it pass without reason or rhyme
B
I
find myself drifting in time
C#(3x) & B
I
see the vultures moving in (Trey & Page, offset from each other, repeated)
I
find myself drifting in time (Mike & Fishman, offset from each other,
repeated)

REPEAT
INTRO
Paulatek reminds me of The Bible
Andromeda was used, I think, before
My guess is that I'll never name this ghost well
But I think I hear him knocking at my door
(2x, repeat with Page the 2nd
time)
Blind me with ambition like a razor to the throat
Cast aside your foolish pride, I'll cast the final vote
The feelings you've been waiting for are clawing through your skin
But if you look above you'll see the vultures moving in
D# & C#
I

Jam
Notes:
The jam in in Eb Mixolydian which is the notes of the Ab Major scale,
starting on the Eb.
You'll want to emphasize
the chord tones in an Eb chord while soloing... so Eb,
G, Bb. Trey also likes to use the flat 2
(Fb) and sharp 5 (B natural)
to create some nice
simple tension. Try to resolve resolve the Fb to the root Eb. And try to resolve the sharp 5 to the 5th Bb.
