It is necessary to put your guitar in drop-D tuning. All chords are
power chords.
Intro: D5, let ring for a while w/ feedback. While chord is ringing,
bass starts in with this line.
(all on dropped-D string of bass) D-G-D-G-D-G-G-D-F-G-F
D-G-D-G-D-G-G-D-D#-E-D#
Guitar plays a slow, groovy riff on the D-string (not the dropped-D
string). Than it starts playing
the same riff as the bass, except with power chords.
D5-G5 G5--G5 G5-D5-F5-G5-F5 D5-G5 G5--G5 G5-D5-D#5-E5-D#5 (several
times)
Verse 1: Guitar stops, only bass line continues. At different times in
the verse, harmonics are used on
the 12th fret of the guitar with a wah-wah peddle.
Cannot grow pretend to bleed. In my trough of grey I kneel to feed.
stare forward, glare behind. Looking for what I cannot find.
Am I the soil, or the seed.
Chorus:
Bb5 E5 Riff 1
Can't tell what's inside, anymore
Bb5 E5 Riff2
Could be I'm alright, like before
Bb5 E5
Black or white, I lost my sight
Bb5 E5 Riff 1 & 2
Can't tell what's inside, anymore

Mirror, mirror to me show Someone that I do not know
In a lonely house, I look for thee
