This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Riff 5 (kinda slow)

This is how I heard the song, you may

have a different opinion. But there's

no doubt Acid Bath Rules. This is a

song that survived from the band's

Golgatha days. Props on guitar go to

Mike Sanchez and Sammy Pierre Duet.

R.I.P. Audi Pitre!
