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

Song

"Buried in the Backyard" by Cannibal Corpse

Off of the album "Eaten Back To Life"

Tabbed by Chris Rezendes

This song is so fucking weird! I originally decided to tab it for two

reasons- I haven’t seen

a tab for it anywhere else, and, it sounded like it would be easy. NO! The

whole song is

practically made up of riffs, and you know how hard it is to figure out

Cannibal Corpse riffs.

To make matters worse, the production is on the mushy side, so you can’t

always hear what is

being played perfectly. Man, I thought this would be easy! For those

reasons, some parts of

the tab are bound to be wrong, in which case any corrections would be

greatly appreciated.

Comments are welcome and encouraged, and both can be sent to

dadmcbad@hotmail.com.

Tuning should be Eb (half a step down from standard).
