Song: Days Turn Blue to Gray Album: Through the Ashes of Empires Band: Machine Head Tabbed by: Trephinated Email: alihafeez@gmail.com Tuning: B F# B E G# C# HELP TIPS FOR THIS TAB: Ok, so this is my interpretation of Days Turn Blue to Gray. I've seen some versions of it around but even if they were right, none had all the parts of the song. It might be a bit confusing to follow this tab since its a longish song with many parts, so i've added some time references above each section of the song. i'd advice just following the tab with the song playing in the backgroun to know what each part is doing. Since i have some time on my hands i'll make a key at the bottom of this tab of exactly which is played how many times in terms of the song. Listen carefully to the intro guitars, as far as i can tell its accurate haha, but *** if i can hear some parts. The numbers in the ()'s are natural harmonics.
