"The Bones of Babydolls" by Acid Bath

From the Album "When the Kite String Pops"

tabbed by Gray (despeyes@blackplague.org)

Note: I've seen  some tabs for Acid Bath saying that the tuning
was dropped D -  nope.   The correct tuning for nearly ALL Acid
Bath songs  is =  C G C F A D on most songs, and  for the  song
below, simply do  the tuning above,   then drop all the strings
to  standardize   the  C (I'd give it string by  string, but my
tuner is in the other room).    As for this song's method, some
might like to fingerpick it (I think one guitar is fingerpicked
, and one is played with a pick), but this is how I play it.  I
may have missed some strings, but as long as you can play these
chords, the rest flows depending on how well you know the song.

By the way, this is my first attempt at tabbing, so forgive any
flaws. Enjoy.

Setch's note:-I have been through this tab and made a few small
corrections. I have not been able to get the  intro right to my
satisfaction, but I do know the chords for the intro are:-

A minor  G   Amin  E all arpegiated.
