"Open Your Eyes" Tabs Here

After listening to the song a bunch of times i grabbed my guitar and learned it by ear (except the solo).


It is indeed in Open D5 as i thought, but it can also be played in Drop D (which i think is how they recorded it, i believe Mark played in open d5 and myles played in drop d).

Anyways the intro is as follows (i can't line up the x's for mutes properly, just know that in this the d string has to be muted (the 4th string from the bottom, the low d can be strummed, i'm not sure if tremo does it or not, but he most likely does just to give the riff a little extra bass.) I apologize in advance if some of the numbers don't line up, i had difficulties lol:

(FYI: listen to the song for strum patterns, there is also a similar fill Mark does during parts of the verse that resembles the intro except where he goes up to the 12th and 14th frets on the A and G strings respectively, but it's the same shape)

This was tabbed to be played in drop D, if you play it in open d5, for the intro take all the notes on the G string and lower it by two frets to get the octave. Also the picking on the first chord of the bridge is meant for open d5 and won't sound right in drop D, other that that i'd say it's about 95% correct (again i apologize for the numbers not lining up).

Well that only took me an hour to type lol, hope you guys get something useful out of this
