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

This is "Stigmata Martyr." Fret numbers enclosed

in pipes (i.e. |4|) mean to play the natural

harmonics above that fret (or in the case of

|2 3/4| that fraction past the indicated fret.

If you can't figure it out, e-mail me and I'll

try to explain to you.

play a simile of this for a few measures. the

bass is doing something like this:

G--------------------------------------------...

D--------------------------------------------...

A--------------------------------------------...

E-0-3-2-1-0--0-3-2-1-0--0-3-2-1-0--0-3-2-1-0-...

the fretted notes are bent enough to sound

slightly ominous and sickening. Use your own

delicately-honed sensibilities to figure this out.

after the intro, the guitar does something

really simple, but cool:

e-X-0-...
B-X-0-...
G-X-0-...
D-X-0-...
A-X-0-...
E-X-0-...

make sure that the open strings are not allowed

to ring for very long at all. Not quite

staccato, but just a short fuzzy bark.

After you do that a couple times, the guitar

plays the chords that the bass roots imply:

E G F# F E

If you don't understand this, find someone to

explain, because it takes far too long to write

out chord diagrams.

Do we have any questions about that?

I'm sorry. It's by Bauhaus
