By Andreas Pelli (wulfpeter@geocities.com)

Song: Caress the Damned
Band: Cemetary
>From the album "Last Confessions"

This song is very easy. Easy to play, easy to tab. This should be a pretty
flawless version of the song, but if someone out there has got complaints
or ideas, feel free to add them.

Intro / Chorus 1

The strange electric sound during Intro and chorus 1 (I am not sure whether
it's a synth or a fx:ed guitar doing it) can be simulated like this with
the second guitar:
