HIGH CASTLES - Funeral for a Friend
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Mr Moobly
Tuning: Half-step down (Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb)
So, this is an awesome song from the EP 'See You All in Hell' and featured on the new
album 'Conduit'. It's a great song which is easy and good fun to play once you've figured
this out. Listen with the song to get the feel for the rhythm. The only part I haven't
figured out is the mini solo part that plays during the chorus. The rest is all here :)

(PM) . . . . . . ... . . ... . . ... . .
Now both guitars play this breakdown. It's pretty much the same as the verse and
previous part, but it's got a really chug to the PM notes which is why I play the A
string too:
eb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|--10\7-------7/9----------------------2--------10-10-10--8-8-8-----------|
Ab|--8\-5-------5/7---------------5-8-5--2--2-2-2--8--8--8--6-6-6-----------|
Eb|--------0-0-------0-0--3-0-5-0--------0--0-0-0--8--8--8--6-6-6-----------|
(PM) . . . . . . . . .
eb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|--10\7-------7/9----------------------2--------8--8-8--8-8---------------|
Ab|--8\-5-------5/7---------------5-8-5--2-2-2-2--6--6-6--6-6---------------|
Eb|--------0-0-------0-0--3-0-5-0--------0-0-0-0--6--6-6--6-6---------------|
(PM) . . . . . . ... . . ... .
eb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|--10\7-------7/9----------------------2--------10-10-10--8-8-8-----------|
Ab|--8\-5-------5/7---------------5-8-5--2--2-2-2--8--8--8--6-6-6-----------|
Eb|--------0-0-------0-0--3-0-5-0--------0--0-0-0--8--8--8--6-6-6-----------|
(PM) . . . . . . . . .
eb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Gb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|--10\7-------7/9--------------------------------------8--8-8--8\---------|
