"Perfect Night for a Hanging" From "The Collected Works of Tourniquet" Words and Music by Ted Kirkpatrick copyright 1996 Intense Records Transcribed by Zeb Lang Lang@inetport.com Note: This should be all of it except for the fast leads. I included times above the beginning of some parts that correspond to the time on your CD player to help if you get lost. A '.' under a note signifies the note is palm-muted. This first part was a struggle to even get close I hope I got somewhat close. Oh yeah, the 6th string is tuned down really low, the same tune as the 2nd string, but a few octaves lower (Bb I think). The rest of the strings are standard tuning. a b c 3x (c) Eb--||--||--||-------------------------------------||---------------------- Bb--||--||--||-------------------------------------||---------------------- Gb--||*-||*-||*-----------------------------------*||---------------------- Db--||*-||*-||*-----------------------------------*||---------------------- Ab--||--||--||-------------------------------------||---------------------- Bb--||--||--||--0---0-0-0-1-0-0-0---0-0-0---1-1-1--||---------------------- 2x (b) Eb-----------------------------------------||------------------------------ Bb-----------------------------------------||------------------------------ Gb----------------------------------------*||------------------------------ Db----------------------------------------*||------------------------------ Ab-----------------------------------------||------------------------------ Bb--0---0-0-0-1-0---12-11-11---8-7-7-6~~~--||------------------------------ Don't play during second repeat (a) Eb------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bb------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gb--4-----7-/-14-----7-/-14-----7-/-14-----7-/-14-------------------------- Db--4-----x---x------x---x------x---x------x---x--------------------------- Ab--2-----5-/-12-----5-/-12-----5-/-12-----5-/-12-------------------------- Bb--0---------------------------------------------------------------------- 8x 8x 2x (a) Eb--||-------------------------||-||-----------------------------||--||---- Bb--||-------------------------||-||-----------------------------||--||---- Gb--||*-----------------------*||-||*---------------------------*||-*||---- Db--||*-----------------------*||-||*---------------------------*||-*||---- Ab--||--2-2-2---2-2-2---2-2-2--||-||--2-----2---------0-1-2-5-4--||--||---- Bb--||--0-0-0---0-0-0---0-0-0--||-||----0-0---0-0-0--------------||--||---- . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
