The Sufferer & the Witness

I took some of this from ver 1, but i modified quite a bit of it and
made it how i think it is played.

UPDATE 9/2/06: i noticed something in the bridge. Its some sort of picking pattern thats
quiet. I tabbed it out. If you can't understand how i explained the end please tell me
i'll just tab it out- i got lazy after typing for 5 hours. =)

UPDATE 10/20/06: I was listening and noticed some octaves in the verse. If you don't
em, don't play till last 3. Also is pre-chorus, I changed G# to F#, thanks to a suggestion
NASA. Kudos.=)

Verse:
Perpetual motion, the image won't focus,
a blur is all that's seen.
But, here in this moment,like the eye of the storm,
it all came clear to me.
I found a shoulder to lean on,
an infallible reason to live all by itself.
I took one last look from the heights that i once loved,
and then i ran like Hell!

Info---
The 2nd guitar is at the botom if anyone wondering,
Both guitars are in standard, and this is my first tab,
I know this is one long tab, and there are some mistakes.
The verse takes some timing so dont rush through it,
play it over a couple of times until it sounds right.

SO, this is my version of Ready to Fall by Rise Against, rhythm and lead guitar.
It is all my own interpretation of the song. Verse 1 I copied almost directly
from version 2 but needed to change a few things. I needed to make a few changes
to all the other parts too, so im making this tab.
ENJOY :D:D:D:D:D:D

Rise Against - Ready To Fall
