Tool — The Patient

 Tool, The Patient.
Tabbed by John, guitar_guy42986@yahoo.com.
  
hey, this song is by Tool off of their new cd
Lateralus.  it's a really good song I might add.  
Adam Jones plays it on a Gibson Les Paul, so that's
where you hear the smoothness of it's sound.  well,
anyway, here's the tab.  this is just the verse and
the chorus.  I don't know the bridge.  sorry.it's not
that hard to learn.

Intro/verse (not the song before it, just what's
played on track 3)  all of this is palm muted.

-----------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------
-----4-----4----4---4-----4-----4----4---4-----------
---2-----2--------------2-----2----------------------
-3-----0-----5---2----3-----0-----5---2--------------

This next part is played over what's already going on.
Adam uses a wah wah here.  V means pull wah pedal up
with your heal,^ means push it down with your toes.
>means let ring.

repeat until:
----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------
---------4-----------4------------------------------
---2--------5---2--------5--------------------------
------3------------3--------------------------------

then start the verse again.


Chorus:  (x means palm mute these notes)
