Tool - Parabola

Dropped-B/E tuning, low to high: BEDG
Transcribed by Ryan Ragsdale

LEGEND:
h: hammer-on
p: pull-off
/: slide up
: slide down

This song is in dropped-B/E, not dropped-D, as some of the other
tabs have said. Therefore, tune your low E down a fourth to B, and
your A down a fourth to E. However, if you have a five-string, I
recommend using it because if you detune your strings that much they
will get all flappy and will be hard to keep in tune. So, if you are using
a five-string, just play like you don't have an A string, because we
won't be using it. Be sure to e-mail me with any questions or
comments. Good luck and enjoy!
