Artist: Billy Talent
Song: Devil in a Midnight Mass
CD: Billy Talent II
Track: 1
Tuning: Drop D
Tabbed By: Sean Connelly, peebrainx@gmail.com

This is an awesome song that Billy Talent has released on their MySpace
page before the CD comes out.  There were two versions released - a demo
version, and the final version.  This is a tab of the final version
(that will probably appear on their CD).  I can't wait for the album,
in stores June 27th, 2006!!! :-)

Drop D tuning.  This tab isn't 100% but it's a solid start that has most
of the tricky parts figured out.


Intro:
e|-----------------------------|
G|-----------------------------|
B|-----------------------------|
D|--------------0--------3--2--|
A|--0-------0-1----1--0--------|
D|----3-0-3--------------------|

This melody is used a lot in the song.  Listen to hear the timing of the
last part of it.

D|--0-0-0-0--|--3-3-3-3--|--8--8--7--7--5--5--0--0--3-3-3-3--|
A|--0-0-0-0--|--3-3-3-3--|--8--8--7--7--5--5--0--0--3-3-3-3--|
D|--0-0-0-0--|--3-3-3-3--|--8--8--7--7--5--5--0--0--3-3-3-3--|

Then transition into another verse or whatever.

You can figure out the ordering on your own.  It's pretty simple.
When you hear a riff, it's always the same intro riff, except for
the pre-chorus riff (which is mostly the intro riff anyways).

Happy strumming!!!
