Midnight Mountain by Cathedral
Midnight Mountain
Notation explanation:
+1/2
|b15r-p13~| This means to prebend up one semitone at fret 15,
|---------| pick the note, release the bend, pull off to the 13th
|---------| fret, and play some vibrato.
Generally one dash is a sixteenth note in length. So ---- is one beat.
Sometimes there's a lot of double digit fret positions or notation
symbols so I have to stretch it out more. When that happens I'll use
the usual method of writing the note lengths underneath each note.
q=quarter (1 beat) e=eighth (1/2 beat) s=sixteenth (1/4 beat)
Uppercase signifies a rest.
Tempo: 140 bpm

Sliding down a mountain
Dusk turns into day
The antidote of elation
Lifeless masses wake
Jaws of suxiety open
A vampire luring me
A fatal invitation
Sight hazing from me

Play Riff B with lyrics:
Oh midnight mountain
I require
Inner re-location
Back to pinnacles high
Play Riff A with lyrics:
Drowning in empty forces
Sinking in banal
I crave the isolation
Of eventide when perception climbs
I just need the injection
A dose to boost my flight
A sonic blast of moonlight
Nucleus ignites
Play Riff B with lyrics (leaving out the last chord):
Oh midnight mountain
I'm revived
Stimulus transcending
Back to pinnacles high
