(Note: The timing on these two riffs is the same, I just spaced it out to
fit those palm-muted A's in.)
(Note: For chorus, when Al is screaming "Burning inside!" Play the tail end
of the VERSE riff, but sped up.)

þþCANNIBAL SONG (A. Jourgensen/P. Barker/C. Connelley)þþ
(Note: There is no guitar in this song, just bass, drums, and saxophones.
I figured the bass out on a guitar, so it may be a little off.
The saxophones are beyond me.)

þþDREAM SONG (A. Jourgensen/P. Barker)þþ
(Note: This song is pretty much all keyboards and drum noises, I couldn't
find any guitar to transcribe in it.)
That's it. It sounds pretty much correct. The only area where I would say
it might be wrong is in "Breathe," because I'm not really sure whether that
first chord is an E5 or if it should be a D5, which would necessitate tuning
down. I've played it both ways and find it kind of hard to tell the
difference. However, that's the only one I'm not sure on. Enjoy.
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 MINISTRY 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.
