ReLyOnTaB - A tab you can rely on
(Best viewed in Notepad)
Pantera - "Message In Blood" off the record Cowboys From Hell.
(c) Copyright Atco Records 1990. Music by Dime, Vinnie, Rex & Phil.
Full tab including solo by Robert the Razor Robertsen may 05
** Feast your eyes! This is a wild ride! **
DROP-D TUNING
Note: In my opinion Dime did not use Drop-D tuning.
I decided to do a tab that would be somewhat easy to learn and
play... (..the word somewhat is strongly emphasised..)
** I have never seen the original music sheets for this song.
This tab does not represent the author's work
in any way and is merely an interpretation based on my ear.
