Sound Of Pulling Heaven Down by Blue October "Sound of Pulling Heaven Down" by Blue October (Transcription by AggiePhil--phil@phildorsett.com) http://www.phildorsett.com/sounds.html Notes: • This is a pretty heavy song without an actual acoustic guitar part, but I play it on anyway. This first tab is geared toward being played on an acoustic. However, if you have electric guitar and want to play it on that, I have included a set of alternate "Power Tabs" down at the bottom. Intro ("It was a midnight...") (Downdward strum) • Use a distortion pedal if you have one e|-------x--------x--------x--------x--------| b|-------x--------x--------x--------x--------| g|-------x--------x--------x--------x--------| D|-------10-------2--------3--------5--------| A|-------10-------2--------3--------5--------| E|-------8--------0--------1--------3--------| ---------C5-------E5-------F5-------G5-------| Verse ("I assemble all the sand that cover wedding beaches...")
