Unlike most Cathedral songs, this one is played using a normally tuned

guitar (E A D G B E).

The doomy verse:



Jennings tends to harmonize his riffs, I transcribed mostly the

main guitar.

The second verse is very much like the first one, with some minor

changes in the order of the riffs, and not the actual notes.





The following riff: (which goes under the little organ lead)



(semi palm mute)

(the stars indicates rhythm)

later, a second guitar joins with the same riff, only in 8th notes,

instead of 16th.





The solo:



Which is not actually a solo but rather a collection of "bluesy" feels.

BTW: The solos are not very precise, but I think jennings improvises them

anyway so why not improvise yourself?

The cosmic funeral ends with a double lead guitar jam on E...



Enjoy.
