Subject: TAB: Prison Sex (Tool)
I believe I remember someone requesting whatever Tool songs anyone might
have. I looked around Nevada, and they don't even have a Tool directory.
So I took it upon myself to whip this up. I didn't have the tape with me,
so if there are any mistakes, they're probably my on errors in playing
the song, and there are lots of different fingerings you can use with
this song. Oh well, at least it sounds right to *me*... I can guarantee
the timing isn't accurate.
I also know just about everything on Undertow. I might get around to
posting them, but I'm not to good at transcription, and Tool songs aren't
too easy to transcribe...
