Looking Down the Cross Megadeth
MEGADETH 'Looking Down The Cross' from the album 'Killing Is My Business... And Business Is Good!' transcribed by Russ Elton (vicelton@yahoo.com) find more metal tablatures at http://venus.spaceports.com/~metaltab/ http://www.geocities.com/vicelton/ Last Modified: 12/25/99 All tabs are how I play the song. I've tried to be as accurate as possible, but some errors may be present. Please contact me with any corrections. All tabs assume some familiarity with the song. In other words, I've laid out the riffs, and if you know the song, you should be able to figure out what riff goes where, although I will try and lay the riffs out sequentially. There is some consideration for timing on these tabs. Listen to the song for the correct timing. I'll do my best to try and space out notes based on length.
