Empty Vessels Make the Loudest Sound The Mars Volta
By The Mars Volta
Tabbed by: Kilikus (TinAguitar)
First Chord Version Tabbed by: Coca30stmMCRFan (Thanks for the starting point)
Tuning: Standard
This is not perfect but pretty close to both chord and melody. The guitar slowly adds
melody during the 3 repeats of the verse, there are also variations that I don?t have
notated yet.
Enjoy :)
