When You Dont See Me by Sisters Of Mercy #----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # #song.

The tempo is 120 and it's played in common time (4/4) and those '1 2 3 4' markings mean where the 1/4 notes are played. I really tried to get those timings but I'd still like to hear corrections and other comments about them. Bass is very simple... just follow the chords. I got some additions and corrections to this. One new riff and some changes in chords. Guitars 1 & 2 are overdrive guitars Guitars 3 & 4 are 'clean' ones Ah = Artificial harmonic H = Hammer on Pm = Palm muting (5)-\/-\/-\ = 'Bend' down with bar & wibrate Rhy.Fig1 (Gtr1 and Gtr2) Gtr1.
