Cradle of Filth

THE RAPING OF FAITH

Tabbed by Nolan. Track from SeanisdaSexxxx on Youtube or whatever his name is nowadays.
This is all by ear so excuse any mistakes, which there shouldn't be any on this song.
Probably the easiest song from Total Fucking Darkness. I'm fairly sure the tuning for this
demo is D standard, since that's what every other Cradle song is tuned to barring Damnation
and possibly Invoking the Unclean.

If you have any questions regarding anything at all, be it this tab or some random question,
find me on the Cradle of Filth website. My name on there is Nolan as well.

Altered Opening riff

Listen to the song for timing.

---------------------------|
-9---9-9-9--9-9-9--9-10-10-|
-7---7-7-7--7-7-7--7-8--8--|
---------------------------|

After playing this once (or twice?) it slides
the same pattern a full step down. Listen to the
track to find out which of the notes are palm muted.
Not hard at all.

. . . . . . . . . . . .

And that's the song. Just made this tab in about 20 minutes, record timing.
