Song: Ticks & Leeches

Tabbed by: Dave Cunningham

This is my first time attempting to tab out a song. This is such
a great song and i couldn't find it tabbed out so I went ahead and
did the work.  The notes and chords are right for the most part i
just hope you can understand them. There is some fills and places
with feedback(in typical Tool fashion)here and there between parts
that i left out but this is basically the entire song.
