** 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..

There is one fast riff that sounds easy to play but has a slurred sound to it.

*****************
**SPECIAL NOTE:**
******************************************************************************
Note that Obituary uses a lot of slight variations in their riffing. 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

Hope you enjoy this.. Its a pretty cool song-If you don't have the album, get
it now! 8) See ya around! Kev.
