Tuning:
"Absolute Zero" By Stone Sour Chords by DustyCarvin Key C# Minor/E major Tuning used (EADGBE) The original is tuned in drop C# Lyrics by AZlyrics And a video of Corey Taylor reading it as a poem. I beleive its on youtube. This is an acoustic version that I worked out one afternoon. It's fairly straight forward, I can play along with the recorded version and it sounds pretty tight. Any correction feel free to comment. Listen to the song for the rythem, I tried matching the chord change with the words but I'm only human. Solo in C#min. Though if played live acousticly it really needs a second guitar to fill in the gaps while soloing. My eyes started going crosseyed near the end of this so if I made a mistake please comment and I will correct it ASAP. Keep Rocking, DustyCarvin Edited 07/03/2015 After playing this song I have changed some chords. The riff is the same notes I just made it so its easier to play while barring the C#m Riff 1 C#m E|-4-----4-4---4----4|-----------------------------| B|-5-----5-5---5----5|-----------------------------| G|-6-----6-6---6----6|-----------------------------| D|-6-----6-6---6----6|--------4--4h5p4------4------| A|-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4--4|--4--7-------------7---------| E|-------------------|-----------------------------| Easy riff, played through various parts of the song, I usually play it in between the versus. Those of you might have noticed the riff has a G note in it. But Dusty, its in C#m, it shouldn't have a G note. Think of it as a C#m blues scale. Kind of like how Enter Sandman is in E minor but they play an A#/Bb in the main riff, same deal.

C#mYour cheap adhesive isn't holding meB C#mMy mouth is a gun I can shoot, I can show you the Btruth C#And I don't need a reason to lie to youA
C#mNo pun intended, no punishmentB C#mIf I offended you, you needed iBt C#mIdeas are the bombs in your mind, a fissure in Btime C#mIf you don't have a weapon you can't have mineA
(Breakdown, heavily muted, I softly strum the first two lines then open my lungs up while semi-growling and jam harder on the last two lines)
C#mI can bleed if I want to bleed G#mI can fail if I feel the need F#mThis face is my last confession EThis life, it feels like a prison
C#mOh ho, I'm not Bafraid AI'm giving into gBrievances again C#mYou're looking at an aBbsolute zero AI'm not the devil but I wBon't be your hero
(Break)
C#mThe catatonic, the sacrilege B C#mYour primadonnas are a privilegeB C#mMy God has a need to react, it's as Bsimple as that C#mIt's better just to settle and Aface the facts
C#mI can bleed if I want to bleed G#mI can feel if I feel the need F#mThis face is my last confession EThis life, it feels like a prison
C#mOh ho, I'm not Bafraid AI'm giving into grievances Bagain C#mYou're looking at an aBbsolute zero AI'm not the devil but I Bwon't be your hero
(Solo in C#m)
C#mOne thing that IB can't stand G#mIs when the minutes Afight the second hand C#mI'll waste a lifetime'Bs worth G#mJust to play to one morAe day
C#mNo fucking quota, no premiumsB C#mThe world is stuck in deliriumB C#mMan is a four-letter word, it's Breally absurd C#mThe hate isn't fake, it's just iAnferred
C#mOh ho, I'm not afraiBd AI'm giving into grievancBes again AI'm down to absolute zBero C#mAnother zealot with the weight of the Bfucking world
C#mOh, I'm not afraiBd AAnd I will let you down aBs I hold you in C#mYou're looking at an absolBute zero AI'm not the devil but I won't be yBour hero
End solo, with riff. I noodle around in the C#m.
