The Sleep by Pantera
The Sleep
Legend
------
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
^ = bend (number of semi-tones above)
/ = slide up/down
~ = vibrato
w = with whammy bar (number of semi-tones above)
<> = Natural harmonic
Note: Most of this song's transcription is based on the midi by Mark Degarmo Chung.
As a result many parts may be played differently or in different positions.
I have just put it into tablature and in the way I play it. This tab is not
perfect. The solos and acoustic parts are pretty damn close but some verse
parts may be a bit off. Enjoy.

Understanding what has
Happened before us
We are confined to a
Darkened hidden tomb
The conquering of our world
As we knew it
Rise above this pit
Of sorrow and pain
Among the few
We are the avant leaders
We've got to live
Through this trouble and decay
This question haunts my mind
Will we survive this night?
We're harboring the meek
Will we survive the sleep?
Unsure and scared
We are planning our reprise
Revolves around this world
We don't know anymore
The odds against us
Yet we're stronger and prevailing
Learn from mistakes
Counting souls for sale
This question haunts my mind
Will we survive this night?
We're harboring the meek
Will we survive the sleep?
