Stabbing Westward
"Violent Mood Swings"
From the album "Ungod"
Tabbed by Joe Costello (joseph.costello@villanova.edu)

Note: There's not too much guitarwork in this one. It's mostly bass and keyboard.
All the guitar parts are heavily distorted too.

Tuning: Drop-D (low to high: D A D G B e)

Symbols used:
h = hammer-on
p = pull off
* = hold note
/ = slide up
= slide down

Intro: Use distortion, and play with volume as the notes come in...
e|-------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------|
G|---7*-----------------4*-------------|
D|-------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------|
Note: This is actually a keyboard part, but this is how it's played on guitar.
I'm pretty sure this is played through the whole song with programming.

1st Verse:
You've left me with nothing left but questions
You've left me here not knowing who I am
(with Riff 1)
You've left me so much ***ing time to hate you
You've left me with no choice but to die

"Violent mood swings"
-end of Riff 3

*At 3:00, there is some random squealing noises with Riff 1. Just use lots of feedback
and random notes.

That's all there is to it... pretty easy angry song. Fun to play if you're in a bad mood.
Any comments, questions, other stuff, either e-mail me or leave it in the corrections.

-Joe

This really rocks, it related to my mood so much when I first heard it, not so much now, but still would be in a picks list from any of my fave bands.

Good song, one of the songs I'd want to play in my head if I wanted to kill someone.
