Endless Sacrifice 
Train of Thought 
 
Tabbed by Matt Sells- 28 Dec, 2003 
 
Here is what I can figure out on this song. It is hard to hear  
exactly what each guitar/bass is playing when both of them are 
playing at the same time but I think it is pretty accurate. I  
don?t have the gigantic solo yet but I?m working on it. Tune  
to drop D (D, A, D, G, B, e) or it will be a lot harder to 
play. There are a few parts in this song where the beat gets  
a little? touchy? so just listen to it and play along. Have fun! 
 
h- hammer 
p- pull 
*- palm mute 
+- touch string lightly to scream it when you play 
/- slide up 
\- slide down 
g#- indicates solo/second guitar start 
 
 
This is the basic rhythm fig. played.

g1- Here is the part for the second guitar/bass

|----------------------------------------------------| 
|----------------------------------------------------| 
|-------------------------3-2-0----------------------| 
|------------5-0-1----3-----------0--1---------------| 
|-0-------------------------------------3--2---------| 
 
Play that entire part again (without the second guitar). the 
keyboard does it?s thing and then you go onto the verse where 
you play it a third time AND a fourth time. After that you  
go into the higher scale version of it. You might need to listen 
to the song to really get how it goes.

And now you go into the chorus 
 
|------------------------------------------------|--------| 
|------------------------------------------------|--------|

                                       * * * * * * 
 
|------------------------------------------------|--------|

|-0-0-3-5-0---0-3-5-0--7+--0-0-3-5-0---0-5-7-5-3-|--------|

|--------------------------------------------------|------| 
|-0-0-3-5-0---0-3-5-0?-7+--0-0-3-5-0---3-3-3-5-5-5-|------|

                                       * * * * * * 
 
Next there is a short bridge 
 
|---------------------------------------------------------| 
|---------------------------------------------------------| 
|---------------------------------------------------------| 
|-0---------2--------5----------3--2----------------------| 
|-0---------2--------5----------3--2----------------------| 
|-0---------2--------5----------3--2----------------------| 
 
Play through the verse and chorus again adding the distortion  
in the verse at the right time, then you go into the big long  
solo. The only part of which I know is something like? 
 
|---------------------------------------------------------| 
|---------------------------------------------------------| 
|-------------9-------------------------------------------| 
|-------------8-------------------7-----------------------| 
|-------------7-------------------6-----------------------| 
|-0-0-0-0-0-0---0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-------------------------| 
 
?over and over. Hope this helps a little. I will try to get 
 it all done eventually.
