------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Birthday Dethday - Dethklok ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Old Rasputin Email: einsteinonthebeach@comcast.net Tuning: C standard (C,F,Bb,Eb,G,c) Note: All note names are written as though we are in standard tuning, as I refuse to re-learn my fretboard in C. Note: Sometimes I feel it necessary to notate rhythm, My conventions are as follows: W = whole note/rest R = rest h= (x2444x@1)half note/rest q = quarter note/rest / e= (022000@1)eighth note/rest o/o = repeat previous bar s = sixteenth note/rest / h.= dotted half note Tied note values are connected with an underscore. example: s__(s) (a 16th tied to another 16th) anything under: /--3-- is atriplet (x02210@1) Double bar lines indicate the end of sections. Bar lines occur every 4 beats.

Beyond that 17b(19) it's just indecipherable wailing. After the chorus repeat the intro and out. And if you must do those bends afterward, try this: Gtr 1 Gtr 2 c.|-----------------|| |-19b--------------|| G.|-17b-------------|| |------------------|| Eb|-----------------|| |------------------|| Start with a /very/ slow bend and then just go nuts bending and picking. Have fun with it and, as always, feedback is appreciated. Cheers, -Old Rasputin Typos? Questions?
