Artist: My Dying Bride
Song: The Prize Of Beauty
Album: Songs Of Darkness, Words Of Light
Tabbed by me, a guy from the north of Norway and likes metal ;)
Note:
Easy, LONG song by My Dying Bride. The riffs are reapeted many times.
I’m sure this ain’t 100% correct but it’s better than nothing. Enjoy.
Tune your guitar 3 steps down, to C# standard.

Then riff 1 again
Then the drums enters
And you play riff 3 4 times
Per-verse:
Riff 4: Clean

|------5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5-----5--|
|----7-----7-----7-----7-----7-----7-----7-----7----|
|--0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----6------|
After playing this riff 4 times, the heavy verse comes in.
Riff 4 is played under the heavy verse:

|----------------------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2------------|
The verse is played...many times...I’m to lazy to count
Then theres is this interlude-thing:
Interlude:
Riff 6: Clean
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-----|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--10-10-10-10-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-8-7-1-1-1-1-1-1-----------------|
|--------------------------------------------------1-1-1-5-5-5-----|
After playing riff 6 a couple of times a harmony comes in.
I think its played like this:
Riff 7: Clean
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|--10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-12-12-12-12-12-12-12-12------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8--------------------------------|
|----------------------------------8-7-1-1-1-1-1-1----------------|
|--12-12-12-12-------------------------------------1-1-1-5-5-5----|
After playing riff 6 and 7 a couple of times you just
play the same riffs, just with distortion.
Then there is this heavy riff:
Riff 8: Heavy
|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|
|---------------------------------|
|--2---2---8---3---7--------------|
|--2---2---8---3---7--------------|
|--0---0---6---1---5--------------|
Play this some times then there is the outro:
Outro:
The outro is 2 guitars playing together. Not sure about the harmony
But whatever.
Riff 9: Heavy
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------9-------9---------10-------10---------12-----12--------------------|
|-10-------10------12-12-------12-----14-14------14-----15-15-------14----|
|-------------------------------------------------------------17-17----17-|
Here is what i THINK the harmony is played like:
Riff 10:
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----10-------10---------12------12---------14-----14--12-12-------------|
|-12--------12------14-14------14-----15-15------15-----------14-14-15-14-|
Play that some times and the song is over!
Still there’s some piano thing, but who cares.
