version 3
Tuning: E A D G B E
tabbed out on a 24 TET electric guitar fretted identically to the guitars used
by the band. This allows access to the quarter notes needed to play along to the song. This means there will
be microtonal notes in this tab which will be written in brackets e.g.(X.5). For example, the fret halfway
between the first and second frets would be written as (1.5) on the tab.
If you do not have a microtonal guitar, some of the quarter notes will be accessible by a quater step bend but
would take a lot of practice.
The tuning is C# F# C# F# B e.
The song is quite long and most of the parts just repeat identically throughout but all of it is tabbed out.

[Outro]
Repeats the Rattlesake Hook riff and another guitar plays a quiet solo over it. I didn't tab it out as it's
kinda hard to hear and it fades into the song Melting and ends.

Poison with a single spike
When they rip apart
Screaming like a maniac
After my attack
Crying like a baby child
In exile [?]
Sweat drips out of every pore as
I bite you more and more and more and
Take one last look at your captor
And hear my tail rattling 'til you're dead
Rattling 'til you're dead
Rattle, rattle rattle
Rattle, rattle, rattle
I'm the serpent
Devil's servant
Time your meet your end
Fangs are ready for the strike
