I don't have a 7-string, but I'm fairly sure that this is the way to play it.

Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture phil Average	#1 by phil gdfgr at Mar 9, 1975 at 4:48 AM EST
	i love this song so much, his voice is just amazing, i agree with 'accused', that part of the song makes my hair stand on end, i love it so much, so powerful great stuff

No Picture Troy Wanna Be	#2 by Troy Erskine at Dec 19, 1984 at 9:49 AM EST
	Yeah, this song got me hooked on them a year or so ago. The vocals and riffs just fit perfectly together, and Sahaj's voice is so powerful, it truly is a beautiful song! Helped me through some tough times too...

No Picture little Average	#3 by little emo at Aug 26, 1988 at 8:35 AM EST
	This has to be the best song on the album, by far. A very powerful song about a person's enlightenment in comparison to others around him or her that although the world seems shitty... there is hope in the literal and metaphorical sky. The part where he states: "long may you run" is so true in how everyone has to deal with their problems, yet there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel.

No Picture mike Average	#4 by mike rojas at Mar 25, 1992 at 7:21 AM EST
	Revalation seems to have the point of the song down pretty good. The instrumentals on this song are pretty kick-ass to. The mix of distortion and acoustics really catches you. Really powerful vocals. and the line 'Poor is the man/that believes his own lies' is the best. Best song on the album.

No Picture brandon Rhythm Player	#5 by brandon q at Jul 14, 1996 at 7:16 AM EST
	best part of the entire album is the line "I SHUT MY EYEEEEEEEEEES, to not go bliiiiiind!"
