Birthday Dethday by Dethklok ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Birthday Dethday - Dethklok ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Old Rasputin Email: einsteinonthebeach@comcast.net Tuning: C standard (C,F,Bb,Eb,G,c) Note: All note names are written as though we are in standard tuning, as I refuse to re-learn my fretboard in C. Note: Sometimes I feel it necessary to notate rhythm, My conventions are as follows: W = whole note/rest R = rest h = half note/rest q = quarter note/rest / e = eighth note/rest o/o = repeat previous bar s = sixteenth note/rest / h.= dotted half note Tied note values are connected with an underscore. example: s__(s) (a 16th tied to another 16th) anything under: /--3--\ is a triplet Double bar lines indicate the end of sections. Bar lines occur every 4 beats.
