Dead But Dreaming


================================================================================================= Song: Dead But Dreaming Artist: Deicide Album: Legion (1992) Tabbed by Chris Rezendes (dudemcrude@yahoo.com) Updated: 8-30-02 Tuning: Standard Notation Key v: vibrato t: tremolo bar ^: bend .: palm mute ~: trill p: pull-off h: hammer-on x: ghost note /: slide up \: slide down Comments: Legion is the hardest Deicide album to play. Of course, as guitarists, we always love challenges, but this is one song I'd rather not try to play live. Anyway, I think I did a fine job on the tab, and if you feel inclined to do so, you are welcome to e-mail me, tab related or not. Whatever. Enjoy. ================================================================================================= Intro x1 e|----------|------------|-----------|-------------|---------|-----------|-----------------| B|----------|------------|-----------|-------------|---------|-----------|-----------------| G|----------|------------|-----------|-------------|---------|-----------|-----------------| D|----------|------------|--------3--|--------4----|---------|-----------|--------3---4----| A|-------4--|-------4-5--|------5-1--|------6-2-5--|------4--|------4-5--|------5-1-6-2-5--| E|--000--2--|--000--2-3--|--000-3----|--000-4---3--|--000-2--|--000-2-3--|--000-3---4---3--| ... ... ... ... . . ... ... ... . . . . e|---------------| B|---------------| G|---------------| D|------------3--| A|-0-1-2-3-4--1--| E|---------------| . . . . .
