This is the final song on Cradle Of Filth's album Bitter Suites To Succubi.
As you all know, cradle of filth have two guitarists, Gian Pyres and Paul
Allander, and a bassist (the newest addition to cradle of filth might I add)
David Pybus, former anathema. I'm going to tab both guitars for this
song, and maybe i'll do the bass in a few weeks. When the tablature space
is blankm that means that the guitar isn't doing anything at the time.
But enought chit-chat..... lets do this....
Tune both guitars one step to D

This is the chorus. The part where dani sings "Once the forest spired!
nurtured in nature's heart..... etc." listen to the song, becaure im not
sure about this part.

Okay for these next parts just repeat figures 3 and 4. But for this part, i'll
only tab what i've figured out so far, god damn paul plays some weird off
beat that I cant quite figure out. I know what I have is correct, so just try
to figure out the rest.

Just play that a few times then play it in palm muted power chords when
dani starts to sing. It's as simple as that.
