Song: Death Blooms
Band: Mudvayne
Inst: Bass

Tabbed by Greg,
Copied, pasted, and retuned by Josh
Hey in case you haven't seen my other tabs, ummm i'm going through and re-tabbing all
of pelvic thrusts tabs to include a B
string, so you can play the songs in standard BEADG tuning. I recently got a request in
the email to retab death blooms and
dig, so im skipping not falling and ill do that after these. If you dont have a 5 string,
or want to exact ryans tone, go
check out pelvic thrusts tabs, their the best ive ever seen.

Tuning
G
D
A
E
B

(josh's note: I encountered a problem here in the intro of this song, and i bet im gonna
catch hell from you hardcore tab freaks. Ryan's alternate tuning creates different
pitch harmonics than standard tuning, and i havent found a way around this problem.
if anybody can tell me the harmonics hes playing in beadg tuning that'd be great, but
to compensate for the tone deepening, i'll just retab them as 7's not 5's. If you have
a problem with this, im sorry, i cant change it unless i can get a chart of harmonics in
different tunings.)

Yes it is about old. But also relates it to drug use, and wanting to be released from your frail human body. Death like experiences.

killja's right, this song was inspired by Kud's grandmother, but i think the song has a more universal meaning. its just about death, and anyone can attach a more personal meaning to it
