Silence Is Golden But Duct Tape Is Silver

This is a great song off the new album, The Restoration Of Chaos And Order. First song
ever figured out myself, and first ever tab I've done. Criticism is welcome.

Chorus (pt.1)
For this you can either play the chords as notated above or power chords. I like to play
power chords for this one. I think it sounds much closer to the original sound on the
recording. (The power chords are just the lowest three strings of the chords shown above)

Silence is golden but duct tape is silver like the lining of the clouds that conceal the killers.


Chorus (pt. 2)
Just play the intro riff over the lyrics below.

This can be played as power chords or barre chords, again I play power chords just 'cause
how it sounds in the recording.

The same thing I've been saying about power chords vs. barre chords goes here as well.
the switching between the chords D and C#, that area of the tab probably needs a little
of tweaking.

silver obey.

Hit a D chord a bunch of times, and you've played the ending. For the bass part to this
if you also play bass or are playing in a band with a bassist, you just want to follow
guitar chords, playing quarter notes during the non-ska parts. During the ska parts, you 
to play either eighth notes or eigth note triplets. It doesnt really matter which you
but don't play on the last beat of the measure.

The general layout of the song goes as such:

Chorus pt. 1
