The Mars Volta
Roulette Dares (the haunt)
tabbed by Dan Van Heuklom




I'm pretty sure this is how most of the song is played
although I'm not entirely sure i have all the neck positions correct
and all that jazz.  I find this the easiest way to play it.

At the end of this part he says "inside" twice
and then you go into the chorus again

	The Mars Volta is so talented. I love em. - Oh and ----musicispowerful--that chorus IS really hard to figure out for me too. It is not just you :) If I figure it out i'll let you know.

No Picture chris Average	#2 by chris nagel at Dec 9, 1981 at 6:39 PM EST
	"ruse of metacarpi / caveat emptor to all that enter here" is referring to suicide decision, the movement of the hand (metacarpal is the bone in your fingers) and caveat emptor is latin for buyer beware. basically, beware about suicide.

No Picture sebastian Wanna Be	#3 by sebastian Shamburg at Aug 13, 1990 at 12:59 AM EST
	yep most definitly the best on de-loused. im sorry but as much as i know the story behind the album i really have trouble understanding the actual lyrics themselves. this is one of the best choruses in any chorus ever.

No Picture Kornowski - Wanna Be	#4 by Kornowski - Im не русский, Бог Черт возьми! at Jun 30, 1996 at 5:34 PM EST
	"exoskeletal junction at the railroad delayed" means that the man's body isnt operating anymore only his mind is.

No Picture Mauricio Wanna Be	#5 by Mauricio Tonon at Oct 19, 1996 at 8:39 AM EST
	I love how the solo with the reverb he does sound like going through a tunnel. I love the whole cinematic approach they have on every song. It really accents the story.

No Picture Kazza Average	#6 by Kazza at Jan 24, 1998 at 11:52 AM EST
	well this song is set in an abandoned railyard, the first stop on cerpin's comatorium psych-out trip. and the metaphor of the railyard, and the Junction, is that he has to make the decision whether to travel further down the rabbit hole (that is, further into the comatorium) and see what awaits or...ya know, die or something. he's already in the coma by this time. does ANYONE else feel when the heaviness first kicks in in this song, it reminds you of iron railyard bars??????? omar is just so fucking amazing. i dont fucking understand. but even BEFORE i found out that htis song is set in an abandoned railyard, i felt it reminded me of like railroad iron and stuff. fucking amazing stuff.
