                             FUNERAL THIRST - The Black Dahlia Murder
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: teenagemisfit2

artist- the black dahlia murder
album- unhallowed
song- funeral thirst

i've seen problems about tunings on nearly every site that has black dahlia murder tabs.
after seeing their show, i had a chance to talk to guitarist brian eschbach and he said 
all their
stuff is in C standard, not drop C.  while for the most part, the tabs that are 
for drop C
are not wrong, bdm plays in C standard, so this is probably closer to the way that they 
it,
and it kinda sounds a bit better.

corrections and whatnot?
email me @ practice_for_war@yahoo.com
or just PM me, that works too.

for some parts where its nothing but fast repetition of a single note, like in the
line after the solo,
i didn't put the exact number of times each note is played.
listen to the song and you'll get a feel for it.

also, theres some random parts like in the breakdowns where they palm mute notes, like
open C longer than
previously in the song.  i may have missed some of these parts, so just listen up for them.

note:
a lot of the rythmns are in tripplets, so i tried to write something like "-000-" or 
to show it.

everything is pretty much here, i'll leave it up to you to put it into order.

SOLO:
*note*- towards the last part when he walks down the scale in tripplets, he slurs a note somewhere,
i wasnt able to figure out exactly what it was, so i just tabbed the scale straight forward.
but if anyone knows, lemme know and i'll fix it.
