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

Song

Hi everyone... This song isn't very well tabbed, specially the solo... But

it's all I could do... Any comments, send them to l42686@alfa.ist.utl.pt

Music: Opium

Band: Moonspell

Album: Irreligious

Lyrics by Fernando Ribeiro, Music by Moonspell

00:00 -- 00:12 - Play RIFF 1, twice, with some pick scrapes in the

beggining...

RIFF 1:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------

00:13 -- 00:25 - The drum kicks in, and RIFF 1 is played twice again,

acompanyed by the guitar that plays the E5 and D5 chords,

at the same time as the bassdrum, with heavy palm mutting.

00:26 -- 00:38 - Guitar plays RIFF 2, in clear tone... I think this is played

with a synth in the album...

RIFF 2:

00:39 -- 00:50 - One guitar plays RIFF 2, while the other plays RIFF 3, after

a pick scrape... The pick scrapes appear a bit before every

chord.

chords, with palm mutting...

02:21 -- 02:34 - RIFF 6 is played 4 times, alternating between the E5 and D5

power chords...

02:35 -- 02:45 - The end is played with 4 times in rapid sequence in the D5

volume pedal...
