** Cause of Death
** by OBITUARY
** from the album 'Cause of Death'
** Transcribed by Kevin Phillips, [email protected]

As always, RIFF's are first, then Song STRUCTURE.  'x' means a palm-mute,
and I apologise for any mistakes..  If somebody fixes something, can you
email me with it so I can update my tab collection?  Thanks!

For those who are interested, I have also Tabbed 'INFECTED' and 'MEMORIES 
REMAIN', but seem to have misplaced the tab sheets somewhere for now..
Will get them uploaded soon.. Anybody else got TAB from this great album 
that they'd like to share?

Enjoy..
Kev.  8)

                               **SPECIAL NOTE:**
******************************************************************************
Note that Obituary uses a lot of slight variations in their riffing.  One time
a riff may have a C5-chord like:  D:--5--
                                  A:--3--
                                  E:-----

Whereas, the next time around, they get more 'Grind' into it by using:
                                  D:--5--
                                  A:--3--
                                  E:--3--   <-Add a 4th (is that right-'4th'?)

RIFF D has this variation, usually always on the second repitition.  Listen
to the album to hear this.. I didn't tab it because its basically a copy of the
first time around! (and cause I'm lazy! - Plus this costs $$$ to eMail/FTP!)
******************************************************************************
