Tetragrammaton   The Mars Volta

 TETRAGRAMMATON â?? Mars Volta


 

 
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 


 


 Ok. This is my first tab, so bear with me. I started to tab out the song because I was


 of searching for a better tab. I know I donâ??t have all the parts, and I know Iâ??m not 100%


 but I do have most of them written down on here at least. Iâ??ll give credit where credit


 due. I thank nibbleschew and the others who wrote this tab before me.


 


 Hereâ??s the best I could come up with, but youâ??ll have to find out the timing by


 Iâ??m open to all suggestions to make this tab better. In fact, I encourage it.
