Tuning Low To High: DADEAD
I'm pretty sure this is how it's played. I've always played it like this
and not had any complaints.
Intro Riff (clean)
----------------------------------------------------0-----------------7-7-0-----
-------7-7-0-0-----------2-2-0-0----------0-----0h4---4---0-----------------0-7-
---0-0---------0-----0-0---------0----------0---------------0-----0-0-----------
---7-7-----------0---2-2-----------0----4-----4---------4---------7-7-----------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/7-----------------2-----------------/4------------------------/7---------------
The second time, the underlined part is replaced with:
--------7-7-0-----
--------7-----0---
----0-0---------0-
----7-7-----------
------------------
-/7---------------
Once you get to the verses, it's much more open and ringy, so I do this:
Verse (clean)
-----------------------------------0------------0-----------------------
---0-0-7-7-0-0-0-0---0-0-2-2-0-0-0----------4-4---4-0---0-0-7-7-0---0-0-
---0-0-----0-0-------0-0-----0-0----------0-------------0-0-0-0-0-------
---7-7-----7-7-------2-2-----2-2--------4---------------7-7-7-7-7-7-----
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-7-----------------2-----------------/4---------------7-----------------
Next comes the Pre-Chorus, and you should let it ring a bit:
(br = bend and release)
Pre-Chorus (distortion)
-0-------0-------------------0---0-----------0---0----------------
-0-------0-7-7-7-7-7br-0-----0-2---2-2-2br-0-0---0-4-4-4-4-4br-0--
-0-------0-x-x-x-------------0-0-------------0---0----------------
-7---------7-7-7---------2-------------------4--------------------
-x-----------------------x-------------------x--------------------
-7-7-7-7-----------------2-2-----------------4-4------------------
^--- repeat this ------^ -------------------------------------> here
Then comes the Chorus:
Chorus (distortion) (I can't keep it all together...)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14----------10-9---------10-9
-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--7-7-x-x-7--7---7-7-x-x-7-7
-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--7-7-x-x-7--7-0-7-7-x-x-7-7
-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12--7-7-x-x-7--7-0-7-7-x-x-7-7
Chorus Part 2 (distortion) (Siren's song that is...)
-------0-----------------------------------
-------0-----------------------------------
-------x-----------------------------------
-2--2--2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---
-2--2--2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4---
-2--2--2--2-2-2-2-2-2-2--4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-
The first hammer part is this I believe:
---------------------------7-0-
-0h7p0h7p0h7p0h7p0h7p0h7p0-----
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
Then towards the end (memory of a window...)
-------0-------0-------0-----0---------0-------0-------0-----0-0-
-------0-------0-------0-----0---------0-------0-------0-----0-0-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2---2-4-4-4---4-4-4---4-4-4---4-4-----
-2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2---2-4-4-4---4-4-4---4-4-4---4-4-----
-2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2---2-4-4-4---4-4-4---4-4-4---4-4-----
then there are some harmonics at the very end after(all alone, on your face...)
(* = harmonic)
* * * *
------5-----------------------
------------7-----------------
------------------------------
------------------7-----4-----
------------------------------
-/7---------------------------
And then the end hammers are just a repeat of this:
----------------------------------
-7p0-7p0-7p0-7p0-7p0-7p0-7p0-7p0--
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
----------------------------------
The second guitar should mimic these pull-offs at the end, put stop after about
two, while using a wah, and let feedback come through. Then alter the sound of
the feedback with the wah. This is what i do to acheive that sharp pitched noise
at the end of the song.
Sorry, I know the tab is a little cramped. Please rate this and give comments.
I'd like to see how accurate other people think that it is.

| My favorite song. God of Wine is about, alcohol. This is probably the prettiest song I've ever encountered, also holds the most meaning to me. I can't write enough about this song, because it is so deep. Read Bacchus, by Euripedes.. Bacchus being the GOD OF WINE. | |

| I have no idea what this song means. It's probably depressing though. Just like all of the other songs on here. =) That's just how Stephan is. I think is DOES have something to do with being a drunk and also being in a relationship. How I can put those two together is beyond me.... | |

| This song shows how as hard as you try, the hits keep coming (and not alcoholic hits), and you know you're done for, and you're down and out, but you can't give it up and it's so hard to let go. | |

| Third Eye BLind is one of my favorite rock bands of all time. And there's a memory of a window Looking through, I see you Searching for something that I could never give you And there's someone who understands you, more than I do A sadness I can't erase All alone on your face. I think hes saying that the alcohol gives the person something more than he ever could and that he doesn't know the person anymore. this song is really beautiful and makes me cry everytime i listen to it. | |

| Third Eye Blind is one of the greatest bands ever and God of Wine is the greatest song ever. These lyrics are sooo deep and beautifully written. This song is about someone watching the one they love destroy themselves. They then realize they are being dragged down with them even though they cant do anything for the person. "And the god of wine is crouched down in my room You let me down, I said it Now I'm going down ,and you're not even around And I said no... I can't keep it all together I know... I can't keep it all together And there's a memory of a window Looking through, I see you Searching for something that I could never give you And there's someone who understands you, more than I do A sadness I can't erase All alone on your face." These are possibly the best lyrics I have ever heard. | |

| I love the guitar parts in this song. They're so amazing; too bad Kevin Cadogan isn't in the band anymore. But who can't relate to the lines: "And there's a memory of a window Looking through, I see you Searching for something that I could never give you And there's someone who understands you, more than I do A sadness I can't erase All alone on your face." Those lines perfectly describe loving someone so much, yet they make you feel so totally inadequate. They've always got their attention turned to something else; it doesn't necessarily have to be alcohol, but something else is always more important to them than you. God, Stephan Jenkins is GOOD! | |

| This song is there to remind us about the dangerrous effects of alcohol and that it isn't worth a human life. | |
