Death Certificate
(Tune down 2.5 steps to B)
Thanks to Brian Fleming and the guy at Cornell whose name I forget (Jon?) for their corrections, plus Mike for his brilliant additions.

Under Amott's lead, there's a riff similar to this: |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| |-------4-5--------4-5---------4-5------------------| |----2----------2-----------2---------4-5---4-5-----| |-0----------3-----------2----------5-----3-----5-3-| |---------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------3h5p3---| |---------------------------------------------------| |-------4-5--------4-5---------4-5------------------| |----2----------2-----------2-----------4-5---------| |-0----------3-----------2----------3-5-------------| |---------------------------------------------------| I believe that the bit after this is basically E5 G5 Ab5 for the chords in the picking pattern.
