Title: Black Masks and Gasoline
Artist: Rise Against
Album: Revolutions Per Minute (2003)

Instrument: Guitar

Tabbed by:  anarchypeach (theused000@adelphia.net)

Tuning: Standard (EBGDAE)

Notes:  Here's the tab, I'm 99% sure that the notes are correct, so far I've got
everything but the 4th chorus time (I'm having ahard time differentiating the two
guitar parts, if *anyone* knows how it goes, please e-mail me and you will be credited)

Also, throughout the whole song, 2 guitars are used, where one keeps playing the heavy
parts to keep the whole song heavy.  However, it sounds absolutely fine with one guitar.

Anyways, in the tab E is equal to 11. 

Have fun and enjoy, it's a great song to play.

Bridge (1st and 3rd time)

Note: During the bridge, in the first measure of the 3 G# powerchords, the little squeaky
effect between the chords is created by lifting your weight on thje string so you are
only touching it a little bit, then strike the low e.  Add some distortion, and there you have it.
