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?

           Timings are based on the album version with the 22
           second synth stuff at the beginning. live versions
           will differ... duh :)

Key:       d minor

Tuning:    D G C F A D (drop-down D)

Legend:    ~  tremolo picking
           *\ pick scratch neckwards
           ^  (tremolo) pitch bend

Notes:     Heavy xtorsion, let ring throughout. I did not try
           imitating the keyboard on guitar. Don't even think
           about Cradle w/o the mighty keyboard!
