 INCUBUS - THE ORIGINAL
 From the album 'If not now, when?'
 
 Fantastic alternative-pop song from an incredibly innovative rock band, really wanted to
 pick this piece apart, so I'm sharing the tab with you.
 
 Opening electric guitar theme (repeated) This is way I think Mike will have played it,
 he seems to love these hand-spanning chords.

 (After playing that 5 times, play this part below, for the final, sixth time of the introduction)

 Continue to play the above before Brandon's vocals kick in, that is:
 
 A1 X3
 A2 X1
 
 This theme reoccurs over the chord progression many times throughout the verse, there
 are variations on the theme in terms of entry, I won't patronise you by noting that here.
 
 Piano Chord progression - I did the whole thing with lyrics, because people are kind of
 romantic like that..
 
 [C]I only go [G] where I'm wanted
 [F] you go only [Dm] where you want
 [C]I aim to be [G] more like you [F] [DM]

 [F]my, my; [DM]your mind it is [C] original,
 [G]girl you're the [F] original
 [AM]always [F] were

 [Guitar solo using natural harmonics, as usual, Einzeiger is still incredibly hard to
 tab, due to heavy use of delay and sh7tcool technique - It sounds like he's improvising
 but I may be wrong]
 
 *If you wish to improvise, then the changes are the same as the verse progression.
 
 [C]The flowers [G] of adaptation
 [F]unfold and [DM] lovingly alarm
 [C]you effortlessly [G] ring that bell [F] [DM]
 [C]your stripes are [G] yours and yours only

 [DM]your mind it is [C] original,[G] ah-ah-ah-[F]ah-ah-ahh[DM]
 you're a [C] skeleton key, [G] opening me,
 [F]my, my; [DM]your mind it is [C] original,

 [G] always weer-[DM]eerr
 [AM]always [F] were

 BRIDGE electric guitar:
 
 This lovely little guitar part is filled with distortion and fuzz (that migrates to the
 right pan on the recording], and sound beautiful, play it after the previous section and
 into the final choruses.

 Play these chronologically at first, and then play B1 and B2 in that order through the chorus.

 Any feedback are appreciated, this isn't the most thorough tab, but I've laid down the
 main themes of the song, and I hope you enjoy this tab and chord chart. xo
