------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blacken the Cursed Sun - Lamb of God ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Tabreez Azad Email: the_real_kalashnikov@hotmail.com Tuning: DADGBe (sounds better in BF#BEG#C# =P) This is just the intro, I'll upload the full tab when I'm done (almost done, just one week I'd say since I don't get much time to work on the tab), it's 100% correct.

Repeat Mark's part twice, and repeat Willie's twice HOWEVER when you get to Riff 7a, start easing off the palm mute about half way through and start tremelo picking the 6's the 4th string),listen to the song you'll get the idea. I'll post the entire tab when I'm done, hopefully soon, have fun! Comments/suggestions always welcome. Andd I know perfectly well Willie's part can be played higher up on the 6th string like does on hourglass, so here you go nitpicky bastards =P: Willie's part (alternate version): Riff 5b: e|-----------------------------------| B|-----------------------------------| G|-----------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------| ===> second time around you'll have to A|-----------------------------------| slide from 17th fret to 15th fret D|-16\15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15--| (not 16th to 15th) . . . . . . . . .
