From the album : "Vempire or Dark Faerytales in Phallustein" 
 
Tabbed by : Satanik Slayer 
MAIL : satanikslayer@yahoo.fr 
 
	This is one of the fastest song of COF, one of the easiest too.  
I think it's one of the best too !! I tabbed Gian and Paul. 
 
Equipment:  Gian: Gibson Les Paul 
	    Paul: BC Rich 
	     
They use both the pre-amp "5150 Peavey" for the dist. 
Personnaly, I use the "Boss Hyper Metal 3" distortion pedal, 
but the Boss MT-2 is better !!! 
 
 
LET'S ROCK !!!: 
		 
!!!!! WARNING !!!!!  Drop - D Tuning : DAFCGD

	Here Gian plays an octave lower, on C-String. But this riff is easier !! Because the frets are 
smaller.	* You can substitute this note by the 7th fret on G-String !

    Yeah!! finish, sorry for my english !! it isn't always correct ! But the tab sounds good, 
very exact !!! I doubt for the outro, mail me if u find any mistakes !!!! 
For more precision, you can watch the DVD " Heavy left-handed & Candid ", the DVD of this concert. 
 
And mail me , if you have the tab of " Amor E morte " the solo, " Tortured Soul Asylum ", or 
the strange interlude, in " Funeral in Carpathia " !!  PLEASE !!!!
