Artist: The Mars Volta
Song: Televators
Tabber: Andrew Biles

The lead part for the chorus has the chord changes written above the tab just to help
a bit more with the timing.  The chords for the chorus have a bit of timing on, but
let the Gm6 ring on still whilst you play the A# note.  The order to the song is
simple, and I've put the times above the pieces incase you can't work it out.

Lyrics (www.anysonglyrics.com):

Just as he hit
The ground
They lowered a tow that
Stuck in his neck to the gills
Fragments of sobiquets
Riddle me this
Flinch stitcheing
Aureole
Stalk the ground
Stalk the ground

You should have seen
The curse that flew right by you
Page of concrete
Stained walks crutch in hobbled sway
Autodafe
A capulary hint of red

Only this manupod
Crescent in shape has escaped

The house half the way
Fell empty with teeth
That split both his lips
Mark these words
One day this chalk outline will circle this city
Was he robbed of the asphalt that cushioned his face
A room colored charlatan
Hid in a safe
Stalk the ground
Stalk the ground

You should have seen
The curse that flew right by you
Page of concrete
Stain walks crutch in hobbled sway
Autodafe
A capulary hint of red

Only this manupod
Crescent in shape has escaped

Pull the pins
Save your grace
Mark these words
On his grave

You should have seen
The curse that flew right by you
Page of concrete
Stain walks crutch in hobbled sway
Autodafe
A capulary hint of red
Everyone knows the last toes are
Always the coldest to go


The Mars Volta- Televators(chords) by Matt Poile

I couldn't be bothered to keep reading rubbish tabs of this song so I just worked out
the chords.Play Bm in the Triad position from the 7th fret on the E-string and G in
the barre chord position and do some picking to make it sound more authentic...

Intro- Remember this song is in 3/4(3 beats in a bar) 

Bm / / |Bm / / |Bm / / |Bm / / |G / / |G / / |G / / |G / / |
                                                     just as he...

the chords for the intro are the same as for the verse...
