Christian Woman - Type O Negative
00:00 / 00:00
Tabs and lyrics
Tunning: Standard (E A D G B e)
Type O Negative: Christian Woman

Transcribed by Nikoteemu Väänänen (osmo.vaananen@pp.inet.fi)

Tune 2.5 steps down to B

This song is very easy, just remember to do pick scrapes at every
opportunity! On the acoustic part Kenny uses some kind of open tuning
judging from the sound of it, but I've transcribed it as it is played
with the same tuning as the rest of the song (although like this the
octave fill is impossible to play).

Just play it LOUD!
