Malice Through The Looking Glass - Cradle of Filth
`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'
This must be the most tongue-in-cheek song Cradle of Filth have ever done,
but it's really cool nevertheless. As always, I've made little attempt at
timing in the tab, but it's easy to pick up. One other thing: although my
guitar is in tune, I'm not sure if it's perfectly in tune for open E (which
is what I've tabbed the song in). I don't think it'll be more than a half
step or two out, but keep it in mind if the tab sounds wrong. Love letters
and death-threats to Wither at BRUNOR@SGGS.WCAPE.SCHOOL.ZA

|----------------------------------| The first two notes of 3a are a bitch,
