artist: the black dahlia murder
track: contagion
album: unhallowed
tabbed by: brad manz (bmanz@bellsouth.net)

tuning is dropped C (dropped D, down 1 more step)

alright here's contagion. it's all here except for one
run that they do every now and then. it's too fast and
my ears aren't good enough. if anyone can figure it out
let me know. oh yeah, and i didn't tab the solo, sorry.
this one took long enough as it is. once again, i have
taken the liberty of assuming you know enough about
guitar that i don't have to put the riffs the exact
amount of times, or specify every note that's palm muted.
