"Future Reflections"
The chords in this song are damn near impossible
to hear, but after listening to many live perfomances
of this song, I think I've come up with an accurate
tab. The first tab for this song is completely wrong
by the way. It's also really important to listen to
the song while playing along with this tab, due to the
fact that it's pretty insane. Also, this is tuned down
half a step from the actual song.

And there were Afuture reflections
On the fEace and the hands
On a gAreen colored island
On a pErimitive man
It was the Afuture reflecting
It felt faEmiliar but new
A street was Amissing a building
The kids hadE something to do
F#m There was a fEeeling the spirit was lBeaving
Red like a mAarker
F#m So my tribe,E with my knife
BCut the heart from a Alonely life
This part is especially weird, so I just play basically
the bassline (which I mapped out for guitar)
throughout this verse:

I saw patterns on floorboards
Deep in the dust was a leader
Someone was walking on floorboards
Turned them from oak to cedar
He can assess the situation
I wrapped a string around my finger
Into the forest with the young ones
I don't expect to be a winner
F#m But as long as you fEeel it
I'm a belBiever
My heart is phoAsphor
F#m Sea rolls, E death tolls
BBreak the surface don'tA break my bones
F#m Off of the tErail and off of your Bhands and
Onto a Anew plan
F#m Is the cost E to stay lost
FoBrever in an eAmpty skin
A#Pale and thin
B If it's good, or if it's A#fortune, I can't tell
But Apieces come together for some rEeason just as well
B Their guns couldn't see us
There's a sA#ea outside my door
A And one day I'll appreciate
The rEush of blood and the wCashed out beat of the C#mshore B
And remember what it fAelt like E
To be aC#mlone B
Sitting in the suAnlight E
All aC#mlone B A E
Just end on that progression: C#m, B, A, E
