AFI - Miss Murder
Tabbed by Leila
Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb (half step down)
Album: Decemberunderground
There was nothing SERIOUSLY wrong with any of the other Miss Murder tabs, but thought
try to fix what I thought was wrong. This may not be 100% right, but I can give at least a
accuracy rate.
On Youtube there is a clip of Jade giving tutorials for this song, so that?s where it?s
from. Thanks.
Intro (inverted power chord, minus the middle note)
|-------|
|-----5-|

|---7---|

Before first chorus, two guitars are played over one another. You can play either the
and add in the middle note for that inverted power chord, or use the harmonic build-up.
Harmonic buildup: put your finger lightly on the E string and brush it all the way from
2nd fret to the 12th fret, and back down. You have to use a quick up and down motion,
its five strokes up and then five strokes down from the 12th fret. Make sure with those
strokes you hit each the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, and 12th harmonics.

Here a chord is supposed to be played 8 times, but I haven?t had time to figure out. You
watch the youtube, or play the same 755xxx chord that was just stopped on. 022xxx also
to work. Then this:
|-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-|
|-5-5-5-5-3-3-3-3-|
|-5-5-7-7-5-5-3-3-|

|-5-5-5-5-|
|-5-5-7-7-|
|-7-7-7-7-|
|-7-7-5-5-|
|-5-5-5-5-|
Here, before the second to last chorus, you repeat the harmonic build up going up and
the lowest E string once again.
