Metal Church "Over My Dead Body" from THE DARK (1986)

Tabbed by Nov. 13, 2002 by Nick S. (Pantera9560@aol.com) If you E-mail me use the subj.
"Over My Dead Body guitar tablature." I'm not saying what stuff is palm-muted 'cause you
can figure that out by listening to the song. Special thanks to my guitar teacher for
helping me out with this song.
NOTE: My guitar teach told me this song was tuned down a half step, but it sounds just
like the album in the standard tuning also.
