Empiresk Tabs

(ver. 1)
Rolo Tomassi
This tab is still a little incomplete, but most of what you hear is there. Any 
suggestions on the parts I'm a little unsure about are welcome as ever. To get the 
best sound for the second half of the song use an octave pedal set to 1 octave down. Enjoy!

Intro [0:17-0:37]

e|-------10--7--0--7-----------------------------|  
b|--------------------8-0------------------------|
g|--------------------------11--7--0--------11---|
d|-------------------------------------9/12------|
a|-----------------------------------------------|
E|--0--------------------------------------------|

[0.37]

e|----------------|
b|--------------0-|
g|-----------0----|
d|--------4-------| Not sure if the guitar plays anything other than this, sounds like the main
a|----------------| melody line is coming from the synth. 
E|--8-------------|

[1.06-1.38]

e|--------|
b|--------|
g|--------|  This section is dominated by the synth and there are some chords being played but
d|--------|  I can't make out what they are, these two notes are always played through the section
a|--------|  though.
E|--3--0--|

[1.39-2.02]

e|-------10--7--0--7-----------------------------|  
b|--------------------8-0------------------------|  Same as the intro just speeds up before
g|--------------------------11--7--0--------11---| leading into the next section. 
d|-------------------------------------9/12------|
a|-----------------------------------------------|
E|--0--------------------------------------------|

[2:03-2:27]

e|--------------------------------------------------------------|
b|--------------------------------------------------------------|
g|--------------------------------------------------------------|
d|-----------------------------------------------------------2-5|
a|------------------------0-2-5-----------------------0-2-5-----|
E|--0----0----0----0-2-3--------0----0----0----0-2-3------------|

e|----------------------------|
b|----------------------------|
g|----------------------------|
d|------------------------0-2-|
a|----------------------------|
E|--0----0----0----0-2-3------|

[2:28-3:17] Then it changes to

e|-------------------------------------------| 
b|-------------------------------------------| 
g|-------------------------------------------|
d|-----2-0-2------------2-5-2----------------|   This section is indentical to the first, just 
a|-------------2-5-2------------------0-2-5--|    with the added notes in between each open
E|--0--------0--------0---------0-2-3--------|    E, so just follow the same pattern.

[3:18]  Then the song ends with the same riff just played super fast

e|--------------------------------------------|
b|--------------------------------------------|  
g|--------------------------------------------|   Play along with the song to get the amount
d|----------------------------2-5--------0-2--|    of times it's repeated and then end with
a|--------0-2-5--------0-2-5------------------|    the staccato open E stabs. 
E|--0-2-3--------0-2-3-------------0-2-3------|

This is really good fun to play, but quite tiring when repeated over and over, 
making the last freak out section of the song especially tricky, practice makes 
perfect and playing along to the song will give you an idea on speed and duration of notes.
