                               **SPECIAL NOTE:**

******************************************************************************

Note that Obituary uses a lot of slight variations in their riffing.  One time

a riff may have a C5-chord like:  D:--5--

                                  A:--3--

                                  E:-----



Whereas, the next time around, they get more 'Grind' into it by using:

                                  D:--5--

                                  A:--3--

                                  E:--3--   <-Add a 4th (is that right-'4th'?)



RIFF D has this variation, usually always on the second repitition.  Listen

to the album to hear this.. I didn't tab it because its basically a copy of the

first time around! (and cause I'm lazy! - Plus this costs $$$ to eMail/FTP!)
