Stigmata Martyr tab by Bauhaus

This is "Stigmata Martyr."  Fret numbers enclosed
in pipes (i.e. |4|) mean to play the natural
harmonics above that fret (or in the case of
|2 3/4| that fraction past the indicated fret.
If you can't figure it out, e-mail me and I'll
try to explain to you.

play a simile of this for a few measures.  the
bass is doing something like this:

G--------------------------------------------...
D--------------------------------------------...
A--------------------------------------------...
E-0-3-2-1-0--0-3-2-1-0--0-3-2-1-0--0-3-2-1-0-...

the fretted notes are bent enough to sound
slightly ominous and sickening.  Use your own
delicately-honed sensibilities to figure this out.

after the intro, the guitar does something
really simple, but cool:

e-X-0-...
B-X-0-...
G-X-0-...
D-X-0-...
A-X-0-...
E-X-0-...

make sure that the open strings are not allowed
to ring for very long at all.  Not quite
staccato, but just a short fuzzy bark.

After you do that a couple times, the guitar
plays the chords that the bass roots imply:

E G F# F E

If you don't understand this, find someone to
explain, because it takes far too long to write
out chord diagrams.

Do we have any questions about that?

I'm sorry.  It's by Bauhaus
