Return to N.O.D.
by High on fire
from Death is this Communion
Tabbed by Willothius
[Don't get confused with the names of the riffs and the order of the parts; whats after
is the tabs itself, what's on the seperate lines, like '2x Riff 1' means play it 2
No solo's included, since THIS is already nearly impossible te hear what he's doing, let
his awesome freakyness in the end where they just jam away, so it seems...]
