Notice

This was tabbed using the video lesson for some parts, but the album version is definitely not the same as the one they play live cause they have to compensate for only having two guitar players when there were tons of overdubs in the studio. Also, I've looked at actual live concert videos, and they play things differently than they do on the video! It's definitely not gospel.

The lead on the intro riff is only played with the grace notes sometimes, it's varied and doesn't really matter either way.
I did this all myself, and didn't bother tabbing a lot of the rhythmic variations and instead just put repeat signs...it would have taken hours and hours to tab them all. Just adlib rhythms here and there, they aren't anything complex.

Trivia

"The Drapery Falls" is a promotional single for the Opeth album, Blackwater Park. In order to make the song more reasonable for radio play, it was shortened from the nearly eleven-minute version on Blackwater Park to just over five minutes. The song itself remains a firm fan favorite, being a popular part of most live performances. The song is usually used by the band as a closing song. The shortened version consists of the first 5:05 of the song, fading out just before the growling vocals start.
