       i play a seven string, but you only need a 6 string for the opening 
riff,
   i play it in standard tuning that is ebgdae

     * palm mute
     N.H. Natural Harmonic

            OPENING RIFF/MAIN RIFF
     * * * *                **********
  E---------------------------------------------
  B---------------------------------------------
  G----------------5-----------------------------
  D----------------5--5-7--------------------------
  A------------7-7----5-7-0--------------------------
  E---0-0-0-0--0-0--------6-6-6-6-6-6-6----------------------------

       okay that is the riff, I was shown this by the guitarist for runt, a 
band that practices
       with shroom and opens up for them alot in cleveland, so that is the 
riff, the following
       part i just kinda played by ear,

    PLAY THE MAIN RIFF 3 or 4 TIMES, THEN BEFORE JEFF HATRIX 
SCREAMS-AHHHHHH, AND THE DOUBLE BASS
  KICKS IN YOU'LL HEAR A HARMONIC
         N.H. for this part, just slide up from five

low e---5-4-3-2-1

When you've done this, then the double bass kicks in and j mann starts with 
"set me free let me
be what i am why can't you see? etc..."
  Then keep playing the main riff through the song, i'm not sure what the 
chords are for one j man
     goes "THIS LIFE'S A FIGHT FOR FULFILLMENT INSIDE..." but that is the 
song, enjoy
