         Artist : Tool
          Title : The Grudge
          Album : Latearlus

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

'The Grudge' is in 5:4 time (mostly).

Counting a 5:4 bar is the same as counting a 4:4 bar, except there are 5
beats, so it goes "1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 1 and 2 and 3" etc...

I learnt to play this song using the TAB submitted to toolshed.down.net by
Ryan (Lateralus5432@aol.com). I used his TAB as a starting point for this
one, so credit to him is due.

Each riff is tabbed in the order it appears in the song, which will be
enough for most people to work it out. Following that is a list of the
exact order the riffs are played, and the number of repeats for each.
Drop me an email if you want a copy with full lyrics.

'The Grudge' is played in Drop D tuning. Tune your low E string down to D.

  Apparently this is played by moving a lady's electric
  razor across the strings. YMMV.
