MALEVOLENT CREATION
To Die is at Hand
Album: The Fine Art of Murder
1998 Pavement Music


Tabbed by "The Hellspawn" (effigy29@hotmail.com)

Timing: For this tab, the time signature is 4/4 all the long.
So this (----) is one beat (four 16th notes)

Note: The first dash of each bar doesn't count in timing.

You might find some mistakes with the structure. Some part were
a bit difficult for me to explain or too complex. Anyway, most
of you have already listen to this track several times, so you
should know what I'm talking about.


Tune Down 1.5 step  (6:Db 5:Gb 4:Cb 3:E 2:Ab 1:Db)
