Band: Cradle of Filth Album: Nymphetamine Song: Nymphetamine (Fix) Copyright © Roadrunner Records Release 1.0: 2004 Transcribed by: Alexander Westers E-mail: infernal_purge@hotmail.com Note: Everyone thinks the guitars should be in Drop C or even 7-string use. Those tabs are all wrong. Paul Allender and Charles Hedger usually tune to custom D (that’s one step down). And so it is for this song. Tuning therefore: D| A| F| C| G| D| Note: \ = slide down / = slide up p = pull down = = let ring I know it looks a bit odd to start with riff 2, but the guitars play the intro riff only after some other riffs.
