this is Ebony Dressed for Sunset, first song on Cradle's Vempire album.
there's already a tab about that archived here, but that was incomplete and -sorry- bad.
Band: Cradle of Filth
Song: Ebony Dressed for Sunset
Album: Vempire/Dark Faerytales in Phallustein
Year: 1996
Copyright: (c) 1996 Cacophonous Records, London, England
Tabbed by: Scythe (scythe@c1b.de)
Version: 1.0 (2003-02-20)
Not a difficult one, given you're capable of fast, continuous
right-hand action. Musically simple, still one of their best.
Short, fast, beautiful. Not merely the intro of Vempire, but
the anticipation of its zenith... i love this one...
Structure: time gtr 1 gtr 2 repeat?
