Bottom Tool
SONG 4 Bottom ------------- By Tool I think that this is one of the best songs on the album and I was lucky enough to stumble across the beginning the other day while I was playing. p = pull off h = hammer on X = muted string = slide up \ = slide down P.M. = palm mute Use dropped D tuning (Drop the low E string to a D) Since I am typing this, the spacing isn't exact, but it is not hard to figure out. I put the h's and p's above the chords instead in between them so that it is easier to compare the spacings between the chords. Fig 1 E|------------------------------| B|------------------------------| G|---------h----p---h------p----| D|-5----0-2-3--3-2-0-2-3--3-2-0-| A|-5----0-2-3--3-2-0-2-3--3-2-0-| D|-5----0-2-3--3-2-0-2-3--3-2-0-| Fig 1A E|------------------------------| B|------------------------------| G|--------h----p---h-------p----| D|-5---0-2-3--3-2-0-2-3---3-2-0-| A|-5---0-2-3--3-2-0-2-3---3-2-0-| D|-5---0-2-3--3-2-0-2-3---3-2-0-| Note the difference in the spacing. The second figure has a longer pause toward the end.

Play Fig 1, then Fig 1A, then Fig 1, then Fig 1B, then Pause for about 13 sec letting the last chord ring, then Play Fig 2 - 4x, then Play Fig 2 - 4x (this time palm mute the strings) (Something?) is broken now (Something has roped?) it now Dishonor(?) is broken now It makes feel... Do a side up UGLY! Play Fig 1 (starting with the word "On"), then Fig 1A, then Fig 1, then Fig 1B, (w/o the last chord ) On my knees and burning My p**s(?) and bones(?) are human I set my head on fire Smell my soul its burning Do a slide up (During the word "burning") Play Fig 2 - 8x (?) (Start this right after the slide) Broken (Broken up?) to see the enemy And I have swallowed the poison you feed me But I survive on the poison you feed me (Even though you) Guilt, fed Hatred, fed Weakness, fed It makes feel... Do a slide up UGLY! Play Fig 1 (starting with the word "On"), then Fig 1A, then Fig 1, then Fig 1B, (w/o the last chord ) On my knees and burning My p**s(?) and bones(?) are human I set my head on fire (I'm dead in) Play Fig 3 - 8x (starting w/ the word "SIDE") .....SIDE!........ (sh*t adds up) 3x sh*t adds up at the bottom..... (Interlude: - spoken by Henry Rollins) Play Fig 4 through the entire interlude (about 18 x) If I let you, you would make me destroy myself In order to survive you, I must first survive myself And I can sink no further, and I cannot forgive you There's no choice but to confront you, to engage you, to erase you I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain I will use my mistakes against you There is no other choice Shameless now Nameless now Nothing now No one now But my soul must be iron Cause my fear is naked I'm naked and fearless, Then play this.....
