Here's my tab of 'The Widow' by the Mars Volta. It's not perfect, but it serves its
purpose. I'm not sure how common my phrasing of notes is, so I'll provide a little
key for a few chords...
[Am/B] [Am/C] [Am/D] [E+]
He's got fasting black [Am]lungs[Am/B][Am/C][Am/B]
Made of clove splintered [E]shardes[E+][E]
They're the kind that will [Am]talk[Am/C][Am/B]
Through a weezing of [E]coughs[E+][E]
And I hear him [Am]every [Am/B]night in [Am/C]every [Am/D]pore
And [A7]every time he just makes me warm
[Dm]Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame
[Am]Must I hide
[E]Cuz I'll never [E7]never sleep [Am]alone
Look at how they [Am]flock to him[Am/B][Am/C][Am/D][Am/C]
From an isle of open [E]sores[E+][E]
He knows that the [Am]taste is such[Am/B][Am/C]
Such to die [E]for[E+][E]
And I hear him [Am]every [Am/B]night on [Am/C]every [Am/D]street
[A7]The scales that do slither deliver me from...
[Dm]Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame
[Am]Then I'll hide cuz i'll [E]never [E7]never sleep [Am]alone
[Am]Oh lord
Said I'm[E] bloodshot for sure[Am]
[E]Pale runs the ghost[Am]
[E]Swollen on the shore[Am]
[Am]everyn[Am/B]ight in e[Am/C]very p[Am/D]ore
[A7]The scales that do slither Deliver me from...
[Dm]Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame
[Am]Then I'll hide Cuz I'll [E]never [E7]never sleep [Am]alone
[Dm]Freeze without an answer Free from all the shame
