Artist: Cradle of Filth
Album: Midian
Title: Lord Abortion
Author: Benjamin Larisch (thecradleofb.hill@gmx.de)
In order to prevent irritations about the course of the different
riffs I listed them detailed one after another.
Please note that some power chords or single notes can be played
in different positions.
My target is to present the artist a complete tab without any
"I'm not sure"-sequences. It's very hard to realize, but I hope
I've done well. So, if there is nothing to correct and everything
is clear please mail your fruits of success at: thecradleofb.hill@gmx.de
