Cut Your Ribbon Tabs

(ver. 3)
Sparta
Well here is cut your ribbon the way I see it. I looked at the other peoples versions and it's pretty close to mine. Really close actually. Well here we go....

x=mute with your playing hand

I saw them on Craig Kilbourn and tried to pick up what they were doing but they didn't show much of the 2nd guitarist and no matter how many times I played it over there wasn't much I could do so I didn't add the 2nd guitar

The intro stars with some great drumming and then guitar 1 comes in with very light distortion:

--12------------11-11------9------9----------11-11--11-11----11-11---11-----
---x-(x3)--0-0--x--x--0-0--x-(x5)-x-(x3)------x--x---x--x-----x--x----x-----
---x-------0-0--x--x--0-0--7------7-----------9--9---9--9-----9--9----9-0---
--12-------0-0--10-10-0-0--7------8-------0-0------0------0-0------0----0---

-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
--9-9-9-x-x-9-9-9-9-x-9-9-9-9-x-9--
--6-6-6-x-x-6-6-6-6-x-6-6-6-6-x-6--
--7-7-7-x-x-7-7-7-7-x-7-7-7-7-x-7--
-----------------------------------

Now here comes the verse:

Kick in that distortion!
--12------------11-11------9------9----------11-11--11-11----11-11---11-----
---x-(x3)--0-0--x--x--0-0--x-(x5)-x-(x3)------x--x---x--x-----x--x----x-----
---x-------0-0--x--x--0-0--7------7-----------9--9---9--9-----9--9----9-0---
--12-------0-0--10-10-0-0--7------8-------0-0------0------0-0------0----0---

You play that a lot then in comes the chorus:

-----------8-8-8--8-8-8--16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16--14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-
-2-2-2-2-2-x-x-x--x-x-x--13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13--11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-
-2-2-2-2-2-6-6-6--6-6-6--14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-
-0-0-0-0-0-------------------------------------------------------------------
                     (When he plays the chords above it higher on the fret board but when I was fooling around it sounded fine so just play it anyways)

After you play that a while he does this again with no distortion:

--9-9-9-x-x-9-9-9-x-x-9-9-9-x-x-9-9-9-x-x-9-9-9-x-x-9-9-9-x-x-9-9-9-x-x-9--
--6-6-6-x-x-6-6-6-x-x-6-6-6-x-x-6-6-6-x-x-6-6-6-x-x-6-6-6-x-x-6-6-6-x-x-6--
--7-7-7-x-x-7-7-7-x-x-7-7-7-x-x-7-7-7-x-x-7-7-7-x-x-7-7-7-x-x-7-7-7-x-x-7--
Do all that is above once more and then they go into the slow part were Jim plays a small back up part or at least he did live but I can't tell on the record, here it is:

----------------------
----------------------
----------------------
----------------------
-----9-9---9-9--------
-0-0-----0------------

He keeps playing that until they say "Can you escape these motives" about three times. Then they go into the chorus...CUT YOUR RIBBON! at the end they just play this a few times:

-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------
----11-11--11-11----11-11---11-11----
-----x--x---x--x-----x--x----x--x----
-----9--9---9--9-----9--9----9--9----
-0-0------0------0-0------0-------0--
