THERION - "morbid reality" Tablature
Official THERION Tablature & Sheet Music »
From: km12686@eehpx36 (Ky Macpherson)
Artist: Therion
Song: Morbid Reality
Album: Of Darkness
Tab by: Ky MacPherson (pokey@uiuc.edu)
To play this song you need to tune down 4 half-steps. Also it sounds
to me like the guitar is tuned slightly flat, so maybe use A=430 Hz as
a reference. There are a lot of tempo changes ... you will have to
listen to the album to get them right.
I am only showing the bottom 4 strings, since that's all you need to
play this song. (But note that this IS a GUITAR tab, NOT bass)
I put beat markers on top of the staff to (hopefully) make it a
little easier to show the timing. Also watch for the accents at the
top of the staff, in place of the beat markers.

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 THERION 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.
