4.Tremor Christ
Tab transcription by Mark van 't Zet ([email protected])

INTRO/VERSE - Main riff, distorted. Play this as hammer ons
       and pull offs, and let strings 1 and 2 ring.
       I believe this ringing stuff is only done
       in the intro.

don't mind :-)

And everything else is just a repeat of those bits, I think.

Hope that's OK. Cheers ...

an acoustic guitar plays these chords durring

Immortality
Transcription by: Brad Campbell

INTRO:

 Chord diagramCadd9Cadd9
e:---------0-----------|
B:------------3--------|
G:------0--------0-----|
D:---2-----------------|
A:3--------------------|
E:------------------0--|

This intro is played four times. I've found that if you run an acoustic
guitar through an amp and use some mild distortion, it recreates the sound
on the album pretty well.


VERSE: The verse is basically just a cycle of Chord diagramE minorEm and Chord diagramD MajorD (--0230). There
is a two-note plucking pattern before the strumming cycle, though, that
goes like this:

 Chord diagramE minorEm Chord diagramD MajorD
e:------0--0--|
B:------0--3--|
G:------0--2--|
D:---2--2--0--|
A:------------|
E:0-----------|

Each of these cycles is one bar [in 4/4 time] and the pick-up is played in
every cycle. I know this might sound confusing, but listen to the song,
and you can hear the two-note plucking. (Note that the Chord diagramD MajorD is not a true
D...I just don't know the real name for that chord). Also, when strumming
the D, try to use upstrokes as much as possible because it seems to sound
better that way.


CHORUS:

Pretty simple:
 Chord diagramC majorC      Chord diagramE minorEm    Chord diagramC majorC      Chord diagramE minorEm
Chord diagramA augmentedA truant finds home. Chord diagramA augmentedA wish to hold on.
       Chord diagramC majorC      Chord diagramE minorEm Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramAsus4Asus4 Chord diagramA augmentedA A* Chord diagramA augmentedA
But there's a trapdoor in the sun.        Immortality.
(that little interlude between "sun" and "immortality" is a
little confusing. Here's what the tab looks like):


   Chord diagramC majorC  Chord diagramC majorC  Chord diagramC majorC Chord diagramE minorEm Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramA augmentedA  Chord diagramAsus4Asus4 Chord diagramA augmentedA A* Chord diagramA augmentedA

G:---0---0----0--0---2---2--|2------2--2--2|------------|
D:---2---2----2--2---2---2--|2------2--2--2|------------|

 ...trapdoor in the sun          immortality


DURING THE SOLOS:

During the short solo, you just repeat the verse pattern.
During the long solo, you repeat the verse pattern, but toward
the end, you double the cycle (i.e.-instead of playing Chord diagramEm/DEm/D [two chords]
in one bar, you play Em/D/Em/D [four chords] in one bar). The end of the
long solo section ends on an A.
That's about it. Sorry it seems so confusing.
If you need any clarification, have any comments, flames, etc.
