From: Kevin Phillips 
Subject: TAB: Chopped in Half (Band : Obituary)

** Chopped in Half
** by Obituary
** from the album CAUSE OF DEATH
** Tabbed by Kevin Phillips, kphill@iconz.co.nz/kevinp@netway.co.nz

Back again with yet another track from this brutal album (Still my fav.
Obituary album! ;) ).  Apologies for any mistakes in this Tab - Its pretty
close though! I'm a little unsure about the closing riff...  It sounds OK,
but its so short I had to guess I got it right! ;)

Don't forget to tune down your guitar about a whole brutal step or two! Oh,
and listen to the song to get the timing right! :) (Track 3!)

Enjoy!

Kev.

Note: A lot of the fast riffing in Obituaries songs seem to have almost no
Palm muting at all... Listen carefully and you should notice it...
Also note during the first few riffs, there is an array of small variations...
(Again, you should listen to the song a few times before trying to play it)

	it means what it says. this would have been a billboard hit in draconian times. many people were cruelly chopped in half, and felt the blood spill from their mouth. i recommend you play this song with as much bass as possible with as much decibels. its even better to hear on the open road, racing, metal blaring from your car windows. yeah.
