Right then once more. As is usual with most Nephilim songs, just about all theinstruments are extremely difficult to hear individually (including Carl'svocals), so I've made my best attempt at the song, taken from their secondalbum "the Nephilim". To help hear the bits that I play, try listening todifferent mixes, e.g. both versions from the "Revelations" double c.d. andsome of the live ones for some pretty funky effects (can anyone tell me whicheffects they use for the "Live in Concert" c.d??? Something phasery I think).Anyway, enough of this idle banter, best of luck and all that.For comments, corrections, etc. contact me through Mad Marcus B atMoonchild~~~~~~~~~By Fields of the Nephilim~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Version datestamp 10.2.95)Riff 1- Guitar 1, distortion.~~~~~~~e|-------------------------------0----0----0-------- B|---------------------------------1----1----1------ G|-5-4--2----5-4-2--2----5-4-2--2----2----2--------- D|------0-----------2-----------3------------------- A|-------------------------------------------------- E|--------------------------------------------------Riff 2- Guitar 1, distoriton.~~~~~~~e|---------------------------------0----0----0------- B|-----------------------------------1----1----1----- G|-5-4-2--2---5-4-2--2----5-4-2--2-----2----2-------- D|-----0--0----------2-----------3------------------- A|--------------------------------------------------- E|---------------------------------------------------Riff 3- Guitar 2, clean.~~~~~~~e|-7----8----7----8-----7---8-------- B|---8----8----8----8-----8---8------ G|-----7----7----7----7-------------- D|----------------------------------- A|----------------------------------- E|-----------------------------------Riff 4- Guitar 2, clean.~~~~~~~4a~~e|---1---3---5---3--1--3-----5-3--1----1---0---1-3------------- B|-3---3---3---3---------------------3---3---3----------------- G|------------------------------------------------------------- D|------------------------------------------------------------- A|------------------------------------------------------------- E|-------------------------------------------------------------4b~~0|-5-3--1----1---0--1-3-----5--3-3----3h5-5--3h5-5--3h5-5-5-------------- B|---------3---3---3----------------3------------------------------------ G|----------------------------------------------------------------------- D|----------------------------------------------------------------------- A|----------------------------------------------------------------------- E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------Riff 5- Guitar 1, distortion.~~~~~~~e|------------------------------------------------------------------------- B|------------------------------------------------------------------------- G|-------------------5h7-7-5-7-5------------------5h7-7-5-7-5-------------- D|-/5~--5\3-3-2------5h7-7-5-7-5--7--5------------5h7-7-5-7-5--7-5--------- A|---------------3---5---5-5-5-5-------8-7-8--5---5---5-5-5-5------8-7-8--5 E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------Riff 6- Guitar 1, distortion.~~~~~~~e|------------------------------------------------------ B|------------------------------------------------------ G|-------------------5h7-7-5-7-5------------------------ D|-/7-5~--5\3-3-2----5h7-7-5-7-5--7--5------------------ A|----------------3--5---5-5-5-5-------8-7-8-5---------- E|------------------------------------------------------Riff 7- Guitar 2, clean.~~~~~~~e|-5-3-----5-5-3-|-1--0--------3-1-3-1----3----3-1-3-1----3-- (let feedback B|-----3--3-3----|-------1----3-3-3-3-3-3-----3-3-3-3-3-3---- 2nd time round) G|---------------|------------------------------------------- D|---------------|------------------------------------------- A|---------------|------------------------------------------- E|---------------|-------------------------------------------Riff 8- Guitar 2, clean (later guitar 1 with mild distortion).~~~~~~~e|-1---3---1---3---5-3--1h3p1-1---0---0---1--3--------------------------- B|---3---3---3---3--------------3---3---3-------------------------------- G|----------------------------------------------------------------------- D|----------------------------------------------------------------------- A|----------------------------------------------------------------------- E|----------------------------------------------------------------------- 0|-5-3--1----1---0--1-3-----5--3-3----3h5-5--3h5-5--3h5-5-5-------------- B|---------3---3---3----------------3------------------------------------ G|----------------------------------------------------------------------- D|----------------------------------------------------------------------- A|----------------------------------------------------------------------- E|-----------------------------------------------------------------------How to play it~~~~~~~~~~~~~~-------------------------------------------Guitar 1|1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 | - |2 2 2 2 2 2 |--------+----------------+---+------------+Guitar 2| - - 3 3 3 3 3 3|4 4| 3 3 3 3 3 3|-------------------------------------------| from here Guitar 1 clean when-------------------------------------------------------- playing 4 & 8 Guitar 1| - |1 1 5 6 | - - 8-- 1 |8-- 1 1 1 4a 4a 1 | --------+----+--------+-------------+------------------+Guitar 2| 4 8| - - 7 7|4 8 8 3 3 3 |3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3|--------------------------------------------------------Notes~~~~~When I've put "4", it means play all of 4a and 4b consecutively. Later on,guitar 1 seems to pop in and out of distortion, so the first time that guitarone plays riff 8, it's with dist. and all the times after that it's clean. Allthe other riffs stay the same as before.At the end of the chorus riff (the bit with the hammer- ons), I actually thinkthat that bit may be played by the other guitar while guitar 2 repeats what itjust played. This song is *incredibly* confusing.Towards the last quarter it seems that there's another guitar in thebackground playing a muted power chord (5th string, 5th fret- whatever it'scalled) unless that's just guitar 1 doing something weird. I hope not.In riff 7, I've marked off the last section as I made it up myself. The firstfew notes which are before the line I could hear O.K. but the ones after it Imade myself, as it's just far too difficult to hear because of everything elsegoing on around them. If you can get my timing, it should sound fine.The lyrics I've sort of amended from John McDonagh's file, so they're justwhat I think I can hear. If you look on the inlay to "the Nephilim" album (oncassette anyway) there are a few bits from Moonchild around the picture ("Iknelt down where I burned before"; "a revisit to an empty hall"; and somethingelse which I can't read).Lyrics~~~~~~(Moonchild... moonchild... moonchild...)Well it's a righteous dream, but out of mind yeahRighteous dream, but out of mind yeah.Take their horsesLet them crawlPut them in their cages(That's righteous for the soul)Open your eyesDespite what's deemedLongevityWell that's a righteous part of meMoonchildLower me down, lower me downMoonchild, lower me down, down, down, down, down, downWell it's a righteous day, but out of my year(I'll give your life smile)Well it's a righteous dayNever return, I won't wait no moreThey take no prisoners in the promised warYou'll die for thisDie for thisTake themMoonchildLower me down, lower me downMoonchild... lower me downMoonchildLower me down, lower me downMoonchild... lower me down, down, down, down, down, down(Moonchild)Take off for safer placesCan't you seeYou're losing meMoonchildLower me down, lower me downMoonchild... lower me downMoonchild... lower me downMoonchild... lower me down, down, down, down, down, downMoonchild... lower me downMoonchild... lower me down, down, down, down, down, downA revisit to an empty hallYou can't see I've been burned beforeThey tear you down and prepare your shameLongevity hear my fameMoonchild...And I'm waiting, and I'm waiting, and I'm waiting, and I'm waiting,And I wipe through the force, a blinding causeWaiting till they find the warLongevity, longevity, I knelt down where I burned beforeLongevity, longevity, I knelt down where I burned beforeLower me downI knelt down where I burned before...Down, down, down~~~~~~| ____ | -*Die Makrele ist ein verdammt breit Fisch*- || A.K.B (____) | Pope Bovophobe V is Alex The Kipper(AKB),\__/Arch Cyberpope,|| K.H.C | Ordo Templi Thermophilic Philopoles, (oo) Kipper of the || C.P.P (__) | Holy Chao of the Church of Pineal Perfection, and creator || (oo) | of the Cumulative Frequency Curves of Eris.
