Here's one from a friend of my pal Marshall:

Corrosion of Conformity
Albatross

Best viewed at 1024x768 reso. I think.

Font used during creation: Lucida Console
Font style: Regular
Font size: 10

tabs malformed by Tabasco (ingenious style to mark tabs with only 3 
strings imitated from Paul)

** Drop all strings 1 whole step down so that E=D, A=G and so on...
** Or just randomly notch down the (lower) E string and tune the
** rest of the strings according to it 

Tab legend:

* = palm mute (aka P.M.)

. = play the note/chord short (sorta like P.M. except you 
    manually dampen the note right _after_ you've struck it thus
    creating a short note and some pause)

b = normal bend

r = release bend... for example "4r3" means  
    (1) Press the string against the fretboard at '3'.
    (2) Bend it up a little (so that it sounds like a '4' of the same 
string)
    (3) Hit the note (strike the string with your pick)
    (4) Release the bend, making it sound like 3 again

    or...  it could just mean what it says. Release the bend. For 
example 3b4r3
    which means
    (1) Hit the 3
    (2) Bend it up so it sounds like '4'
    (3) Release the bend back to sounding like '3'

/ = slide up

\ = slide down

=============================================================
The Beginning... note that I like to play the beginning from 
way up on E/A -strings 'cause it sounds oh so thicker then
(like on the album). The rest of the time I play it on D/G -strings
like any normal (sane) person would do (like on The Main Riff).
Also note that palm-muted 'double zero' in the first line, doesn't
matter what you play there 'cause it's really short, low, unclear
sound which should've not been put in the tabs in the first place.
Maybe Pepper was drunk while they recorded the album (or Woody if
he's the one who played this).

The Chorus
=======================

f = fast slide or hammer-on, you decide
s = slow bend
** = note (the 3rd on D) plays longer than on the previous time

The Fills
===========================

[Fill 1]

D |-----7-5--------|
A |-3-5------------|
E |----------------|

[Fill 2]

D |----------------|
A |-3-5-7-5--------|
E |----------------|

[Fill 3]  =  [Fill 1] + [Fill 2]

Fill 3 is to be played right before the final verse (lyrics begin "I 
should've seen the signs..."). It's combined Fill 1 & 2 played with two 
different guitars. Sounds really cool on album IMHO.

===================================
Background riff during the solo
===================================

p   = short pause
pp  = a little longer pause
ppp = (you should get the idea by now...)

A |-5-3-5-----5-3-5------|-5-3-5----5-3--------|

Final words 
====================================================
There you go. That's the most I can remember about this song. These were 
my first tabs ever created (with Notepad). Can't say it was fun. I'm 
just glad I got this over with and I'm probably never gonna put another 
song in tabs. Not like this, maybe on paper with a pencil. Probably not. 
I kinda semi-volunteered doing this and just wanted to keep my word 
getting this done. I can't understand how some people transform the 
solos to tabs, I mean it oughta be really slow process. Maybe they use 
some other software (other than Notepad), hell if I know... If you see 
any mistakes, discrepancies or anything out of the place, don't let me 
know, 'cause I wouldn't give a crap anyway. Cheers.... *glup-glup-glup* 
*burrrp*.
========================
Legal stuff
========================
You may spread, edit, copy-paste, Photoshop, publish or disfigure these 
guitar tabs any way you please. I. Really. Don't. Give. A. Damn. If you 
cut, bruise or break your fingers or wrists or any other of your body 
parts, or accidentally destroy any property whether it is or is not 
yours, while practicing 'COC - Albatross' (or any other song) from these 
guitar tabs, I cannot be held responsible. Just wipe the blood or put an 
icebag or whatever, have another beer and keep practicing a little 
later. Cheers.
