Mortal - Electrify guitar tab
Electrify
Mortal
1993 Itense Records
Frontline Music Group
Tabbed by conorlarkin@hotmail.com
Tune guitars to D. This may vary because I tabbed this song using a tape (and my
accoustic, of course) and some tape players play at different speeds, which
changes the pitch.
The song starts out with a weird keyboard part and then some drums. And then
Riff a

Cool song, from the good ol' days of Mortal. There is a super easy way to play
Riff a, but only if you are sitting down or stationary(and who wants to play
like that?). They probably recorded it this way, but play it my way in concert.
The only Mortal tape I have is Fathom, and I might be able to tab some more
songs from it. As always, you can e-mail me with comments or corrections
[conorlarkin@hotmail.com]. I like to hear from people. God Bless you.
