The Black Goddes Rises

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.
