@SONG: Silence @ARTIST: The Tea Party @ALBUM: The Edges of Twilight @TABBED BY: Krist Smith (lmsmith@calvin.stemnet.nf.ca) Open C tuning (again): e tuned down to d B tuned up to C G left the same D tuned down to C A tuned down to G E tuned down to C There are a lot of instruments in on this, so I'm VERY likely wrong. This is just MY interpretation. The timing is probably wrong (I'm not that good). It's just four dashes (-) for every quarter note. This is just a guess, but I think it's in 4/4 timing (please correct me).

Song: SILENCE Artist: THE TEA PARTY Tabbed by: KRIST SMITH ----------------------- This song uses another cool tuning (I think it's something like open Gsus2/D or something): e tuned down to d B tuned down to A G left the same D left the same A tuned down to G E tuned down to D There are a lot of instruments in on this, so I'm VERY likely wrong.
