** Cause of Death ** by OBITUARY ** from the album 'Cause of Death' ** Transcribed by Kevin Phillips, kphill@iconz.co.nz Here is a groovy, semi-funky song from the album of the same name. This album is one of my all time fav's - lots of atmosphere, sound Fx, and some cool grinding guitar noises.. Also one hell of a great Drum mix! As always, RIFF's are first, then Song STRUCTURE. 'x' means a palm-mute, and I apologise for any mistakes.. If somebody fixes something, can you email me with it so I can update my tab collection? Thanks! For those who are interested, I have also Tabbed 'INFECTED' and 'MEMORIES REMAIN', but seem to have misplaced the tab sheets somewhere for now.. Will get them uploaded soon.. Anybody else got TAB from this great album that they'd like to share? Enjoy.. Kev. 8) REMEMBER : Always listen to original to get the Timing and feel correct!

One time a riff may have a C5-chord like: D:--5-- A:--3-- E:----- Whereas, the next time around, they get more 'Grind' into it by using: D:--5-- A:--3-- E:--3-- <-Add a 4th (is that right-'4th'?) RIFF D has this variation, usually always on the second repitition. Listen to the album to hear this.. I didn't tab it because its basically a copy of the first time around! (and cause I'm lazy! - Plus this costs $$$ to eMail/FTP!) ****************************************************************************** CAUSE OF DEATH - STRUCTURE: **Introduction: Riff A x 6 -Fade in on first -Guitar Solo starts on third RIFF B x 8 -Slight Variations in repeats 4-7 -8th : Hold Chord RIFF C x 6 RIFF D x 2 -Remember Variation! (See Special Note!) RIFF C x 4 RIFF D x 2 -Ditto! RIFF E x 4 RIFF F x 2 RIFF E x 4 RIFF F x 2 [Missing Riff here x 8] - 8th hold chord/Gtr 2:divebomb w/Whammy bar RIFF G x 4 RIFF D x 2 -Ditto (again!) **Lead Break: RIFF E x 4 RIFF F x 2 **Finale': [Missing Riff x 6] [Silence for one bar] [Missing Riff once and finish] Hope you enjoy this.. Its a pretty cool song-If you don't have the album, get it now! 8) See ya around! Kev.
