Title: Zombies Are Good For Your Health
Artist: Poison the Well
Album: You Come Before You
Tuning: Drop D, down 1 whole step (CGCFAD)

Tabbed by: Seen K. Leeds (abandapar@socal.rr.com)

___Key___
. = palm mute
p = pull-off
~ = ring out

First tab. My bid to add more quality PtW tabs from "You Come Before You."
I plea with others to follow suit (with an accurate version of "Pleasant Bullet" for
starters).

Riff 1, ending with:
C |--1~----5~----|
G |--1~----5~----|
C |--1~----5~----|

It's at this point when the guitars go bat****, and I couldn't even begin to fathom translating
it.
You can mess around with the high end of the neck, or cop out and play the bass part:

(1:52)
C |--00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1--|
G |--00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1--|
C |--00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1-00--1--|
pm .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. .

Then play Riff 2, ending with:
C |--1-1-0-1-1--||
G |--1-1-0-1-1--||
C |--1-1-0-1-1--||
pm . . . . .


End. Hope it serves you well.

guys, i've said this in just about every post that i've posted under songs off of the new cd, so i'll be brief: (1) the band did NOT sell out, suck, go down the tubes, or any other variation. they changed their sound(for THIS cd anyways). bands do that. there's only so much you can do with one sound before you have to move on (2) the band is evolving both musically (by listening to the record) and emotionally (by reading the lyrics), and for this i think that it's kickass...you fuckin rock Poison the Well. and (3) for all you skeptics, step outside of your narrow anti-metal anti-anything different minds and read the lyrics..they haven't changed a bit ;)

and just one more thing....to any fans of the new material, or people that don't like it (esp. the latter), read the lyrics to one of their new songs Crystal Lake. it's the last song on the album and it pretty much says that they don't give a shit what people think about it, they're going to do it anyway.

Ghostchant and Zombies are Good for Your Health are definitely not the best songs on the new album. After I heard everything else though my faith in PTW was reaffirmed.

and another thing, don't slam the album until you buy it and listen to it. You might not like the 2 songs on their site, but i managed to get ahold of a couple others off of you come before you, and they are amazing. If you aren't into the new harder metal stuff, listen to apathy is a cold blood, its a beutiful song.
