 Deicide - Slave to the Cross 
 Submitted By: Sqweeky 
 EMail: Blindside831@aol.com 
 Album: Serpents Of The Light 
 1997 Roadrunner Records 
 
 tabbed by Hellspawn (effigy29@hotmail.com) 
 
 
 Usually, one dash is a 16th note. In this song, there is two different 
 time signatures (4/4 & 12/8). So, at 4/4 ---- is one beat, and at 
 12/8 ------ is one beat. The verse riffs in this song seem to be played at 
 32nd note, because of this, -------- is one beat. 
 
 
 Unlike all Deicide songs, which the tuning is 1/2 step down, in this one, 
 the tuning is 1 1/2 step down. (6:Db 5:Gb 4:Cb 3:E 2:Ab 1:Db)

 Finally the solos, of course, I did my best. If you 
 think you got something better, you're free to correct it. 
 After transcribing all the riffs and the two first solos, 
 I didn't much feel like figuring the third, probably 
 because of a lack of concentration. So there are the 
 first two that Eric plays. Exceptionally for this part, 
 you have to listen to the song to get the timing.
