Desert God

Sleepy Sun - Desert God
song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUsQoI5dSqA
note: - There are two guitars played in this song, 
        I tabbed both and simply refer to them as "1st" and "2nd".
      

The whole intro and all the verses are played in E. 
Play this riff during intro and verses:

    e|--------------------------------------------------|  b = bend
    B|--------------------------------------------------|  r = release
1st G|-------------7--6b7r6---------7t--6b7r6-----------|  t = tremolo
    D|-6----7--9-------------6---7-------------6h7p64---|  h = hammer-on
    A|--------------------------------------------------|  p = pull-off 
    E|--------------------------------------------------|

It sounds nice if you pluck the lower E-string in between some of the notes and let it ring.

VERSE 1 0:54

For the one who walks alone under the circle around the moon

Send us on a trip to find the nectar of our god

Shine our way home
Read us through the sterile sand the desert's always known

Lifeless desert plain
Guide us through the lonely hearts the weather's rightly claimed

CHORUS 3:40 -play riff from 3:09-

Oh, mighty landscape
Shine the way to salvation
Lead us through the golden light with this heavy crown we've won
The desert god is cloaked in heat
He's sweating out our sins
A foolish trip, the devil's trick to pull down with him
