Song Title: Staring Through the Eyes of the Dead
Artist: Cannibal Corpse
----------------------------------------------
Here's my first attempt at a Cannibal Corpse song. I figured I might as well start at the beginning of the album. I'm not positive about all this, since the bass is mixed kinda low (what else is new). I can't tell if he does that tapping thing in the beginning, or just the root notes, or somewhere in between. It's one of these three versions, I'm sure, although he could be doing all three at different times.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official CANNIBAL CORPSE tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
