Godspeed You Black Emperor - We Drift Like Worried Fire - табы

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - We Drift Like Worried Fire
     from 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend! (2012)

Hey guys, sorry that this tab is in standard tuning, Im not positive if they use their usual tuning on this 
album but it shouldn't be too hard to transpose, or just play it in standard. Since it's GY!BE, there's going 
to be a lot of stuff going on a lot of the time that will be hard to tab out but Ill try my best to include
all of the major themes and lead lines.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Section 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Song opens with drones and, I believe, the guitar screwdriver technique they use.
Mess around with these notes/melodies:


e|-----------------------------------|
B|--6-/-8-------12-/-11--9-----------|
G|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------|


[2:41, Guitar enters]

Gtr 1:

B|-------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------|
D|------6---10-6--------6---10-6--------6----|
A|-10--------------10--------------10--------|
E|-------------------------------------------|

Gtr 2, improv a bit:
e|-------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------|
D|----6--5-----6--5-----6--5-----6--5--------|
A|-6--------6--------6--------6--------------|
E|-------------------------------------------|

Both parts above are repeated for a few minutes as the song builds

       this is just easier for me while trem picking*

I think the Lead Gtr does a variation of the riff from [5:40],
it's very difficult to make it out in the chaos

 Section 4
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, Ill have to come back and revisit this last section of the song. I don't have the willpower to
try and figure out all the chromatic madness that goes on here right now. However, this clean riff opens
up the section and might give you a good start to figuring it out.
