Cradle Of Filth - The Black Godess Rises Chords & Tabs

 The Black Goddess Rises - Cradle of Filth
 `'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`'`
 Tune down one step (E to D and so on) and you're set. This is a really easy
 tune to grasp, so much so that you could get by playing the whole thing on
 one guitar... which is how I've tabbed it. If you want to play it 'the real
 way' though, just seperate the rhythm and lead riffs and play the single riff
 parts together. Email (as always) to Wither at brunor@sggs.wcape.school.za

  Riff 4: Unsure about this riff, but it's so atonal on the recording that
          nobody will really know if you're playing it wrong.

 Okay, I apologise for the inadequacies of this transcription, but I found it
 really difficult to get passionate over transcribing a mono-guitar song (hey,
 I'm a Gemini through and through, okay? ;) Next up is either The Principle of
 Evil Made Flesh or Of Mist and Midnight Skies.
