VIOLENT RAIN
As recorded by Dead Men Dreaming
(From the 2005 EP ITS SEXIER WHEN THEY CRY)
Transcribed by Anthony Bordonaro
Words and Music by Dead Men Dreaming
Arranged by Dead Men Dreaming
KEY: C# Minor
TUNING: A E A D G B E
EQUIPMENT: This song utilizes the 7 string guitar, with the B string detuned one full
to A. No effects are needed for this song, just dirty to clean and vice versa.
*NOTE* - Tab kind of sucks because you cannot denote timing, but all the right notes are
you just have to listen to the CD/Mp3s for the correct timing. Also in the verse you
see the little runs of 4 6 7 on the A and D strings… I tend to pick every note there,
feel free to hammer on and pull off when descending. Another thing is that this is the
song all the way through…none of that play riff A 4 times and than Riff C 2 time and end
Riff F bullshit. Just get the timing down and this tabs equals the 4 minutes and twenty
of pure violent rain…mmm… 4:20…. Umm that’s pretty much it, so plug in your axe and
fucking playing already! Any questions, comments, complaints, pick up lines,
threats, etc can be made to deadmendreaming@hotmail.com
Also be sure to check out www.deadmendreaming.com as well as
for updates on news, music, pics, tabs, and lyrics. Konicheewa bitches!
Keep shredding motherfuckers!!!
