                             Arcana Hereticae - Behemoth
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Greg M.

 This is the first song off of The Apostasy that I actually liked. It\'s short, but fun 
play, as long as you can sweep pick. Forgive me if there are errors, it\'s also the 
song off of the album to be tabbed. The string names are likely incorrect as well.

Tuning: Drop Bb


Intro chords, under mini sweep thing

mini sweep thing
Cb|-------14-18-14----------14-18-14----------14-18-14----------14-18-12------|
Fb|-----16--------16------16--------16------16--------16------16--------16----|

Just play that until you hear it stop.

Then something like this occurs:
Cb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Fb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|-3-4--7-5-4-7-5-4----------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-1-2--7-5-4-7-5-4----------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|------7-5-4-7-5-4----------------------------------------------------------|
         . . . . . .

The verse is the chords under the mini sweep thingy twice, then:
Cb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Fb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Db|-11------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|-11-10-8-108-10-11---------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-9--8--6-8-6-8--9----------------------------------------------------------|
Bb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|

There is an interlude solo that I have no idea how to play, but the chords stay the same under it.

On comes the awesome riff;    When it gets lower it\'s:
Cb|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Fb|-------------------------O-----------------------------------------------------|
Db|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Ab|-11-10-7--10-11-14\\13-10------------------------------------------------------|
Eb|-9--8--5--8--9--12\\11-8--O--8--7--4-7-8--11\\10-------------------------------|
Bb|----------------------------8--7--4-7-8--11\\10--------------------------------|

Second Guitar solo: It\'s not 100%, but it\'s close.
