                             BRIEFCASE FULL OF GUTS - Dethklok
E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Tabbed by: Old Rasputin

Tuning: C Standard (C,F,Bb,Eb,G,c)

Note: All note names are written as though we are in standard tuning, as I
      refuse to re-learn my fretboard in C.

Note: I notate rhythm from time to time where I feel it may not be obvious.
      My conventions are as follows: 
   
                W = whole note/rest          R = rest
                h = half note/rest        
                q = quarter note/rest        /
                e = eighth note/rest       o/o = repeat previous bar
                s = sixteenth note/rest    /
                h.= dotted half note
                q.= dotted quarter note

                Tied note values are connected with an underscore.
                example: s__(s)  (a 16th tied to another 16th)

                anything under: /--3--\ is a triplet

                Double bar lines indicate the end of sections.

           abilities of my ear and technology).

This,| however, is what has been posted on here before, and I really think it
     | sounds cooler than what, as far as I can tell, Brendon plays on the 
     | recording.

Guitar Solo:

Bar 15 (marked with a "***") of the 1st chunk is a bit more complicated 
than what is shown, but it gets rather sloppy so I simplified a bit.


1st chunk: (steady 16ths unless otherwise noted)
           (bar lines every 2 beats)
