More Than Meets The Eye
Tuning - half step down (Eb)
This is the first riff.

---------------10--9--7--9/10--9------10--9--12--10--9--10--------|

You can also play the first riff with power chords if you like.
Use lots of slides with this riff. Listen to album for reference.
Like this:

The the nice main riff, this comes 2 times:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
-----9-----------------------------------9-----------9---------------------|
-----9-----------8------------5/7--------9-----------9----8----7----5/7----|
-----7-----------8------------5/7--------7-----------7----8----7----5/7----|
-000--00-000-000-6-00-000-000-3/5----000--00-000-000---00-6-00-5-00-3/5----|
Then the same riff comes along with singing, but slightly different:
---------------------------------------------------|
---------------------------------------------------|
-----9-----------------9---------------------------|
-----9-----------------9----8----7----5/7----------|
-----7-----------------7----8----7----5/7----------|
-000---000-000-000...----00-6-00-5-00-3/5----------|
This is the chorus part. The rhythm on the second part is too hard to tab.
You have to listen from the album..

And the very last chords of the song:

-5---2-2-22------|
-3---0-0-00------|
Life in the world untold, question the unknown
This prison captures me, my cell is all I know
I thought I knew it all, stubborn in my ways
My sentence has begun, my future's what I waste
Next chapter of my life is filled with violent scenes
I stay awake at night hiding from my dreams
The voices haunting me, driving me insane
Can't seem to get away, they're calling out my name
I feel that I am slipping
Are they out to get me
My life is upside down
More than meets the eye
For now I am in control, choosing my own fate
And now I sleep at night because I'm not afraid
My demons haunting me, I chased them all away
I've conquered all my fears, my destiny awaits
I'm no longer slipping
I'm not slipping away
No one's out to get me
No one will get in my way
No longer upside down
I've turned my life around
More than meets the eye
More than
More than meets the eye
