" Walk
This is
Welcome to Heaven
Believe
Welcome to 666
Breathe
Come closer
1 2 3 4 "


Riff A x 8 (while sings the lyrics)
Riff B once
Riff C x 4 (while 1 2 3 4...)


" Walk
Open your eyes my darling
Let the weapon rise my darling
Come closer
The sweet smell of giving "


Again Riff A x 8, Riff B and Riff C x 4

Well he talks in confusion
And he faults your point of view
You talk about his operation
And he talks, hear him laughing at you

Contamination and radiation
Let it crawl, wanna see you stalemate
Can't turn to blink or think for a while
Now you're melting through your burning feet

All the people say "Ohh..."

Stop!

A thousand fingers reach out for you

Oh, keep talking, you're a hunter, I'm a wolf
Yeah, keep talking, I'm the preacher, you're the fool!

Can't turn to blame or think for a while
Now you're melting through your burning feet

As usual, it's quite hard to distinguish which one is guitar one, two or the
bass. The above sounds pretty good when playing along to the record, though.

When no number of times a riff should be played, is stated, simply repeat
it until you bump into another one, and start playing that.

Riff #3 actually should be: D:--2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2... played with
the string "half-muted", but that's not very exciting, is it?

I took the liberty of changing John's (McDonagh) lyrics transcription in a few
places, thereby not claiming my interpretation is correct.

Finally, anybody recognise riff #8 from somewhere else? :-)


Misc. Nephilim Tabs (mcdonghj@unix2.tcd.ie)


OK guys and gels....
What's the chance of some of us getting together and working out some
Neph TABs for Guitar(+Bass). Myself... I am not particularly good on the guitar
but love to play it. I find some of the Neph stuff particularly hard to work
out. I find some of the intro's to be OK but when the guitar line changes
come chorus I get all messed up.
So here are 2 or 3 intro's. Could anyone out there complete them??

Psychonaut
~~~~~~~~~~
The Power chords played in Psychonaut are:-

D F C G
I play the chords:
D 10-12-12-11-10-10
F x- 8-10-10-10- x
C 8-10-10- 9- 8- 8
G x-10-12-12-12- x

I don't claim any of the above is correct... but merely the way 'I' play it.
I have Watchman on line too, but it's the same as the one at the FTP sites.
I can play bits of other songs... I think Endemoniada, Phobia, Power, Love
Under Will, For her Light....
I have a few Bass Lines...
Last Exit for the lost is some thing like...

|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|--------3-----3--------------------------------------------------------------
|--1---1---1-1----1-4-4-4-4---------------------------------------------------

Does anyone have the bassline for Celebrate.
I would love to be able to play all of the Neph songs... So anyone else out
there with guitars... PLEASE help me.

I can also play some Bauhaus, SoM, Christian Death so... if people are
interested in more than just Neph I'll try typing out some other stuff.

Cut to razor sounding violins
Recall your cutthroats and razor sin
We're watching Heaven as the sun goes down
I'll watch the sun bursting.. Hit the ground

Chorus:
A-D

You've got to [ ]
Chorus: Dawnrazor's falling, The Razor Sin {Rouse the sky}
Dawnrazor's falling, The Razor Sin {nb: Sin sounds like sign}

Then:- B

Dawnrazor Dawnrazor Well how ?

(Chorus)

Women in dreams abide, better than lost before
Women in dreams abide, better than cut before

Cuts in razor sound in body and limb
Recall your cutthroats and razor sin
You've got to [ ]
Dawnrazor's falling, The Razor Sin
Dawnrazor's falling, The Razor Sin

Dawnrazor's falling, The Razor Sin
DawnAngel's fall, The Razor Sin

Lyrics by me too(with help from Robert Schmitz).


~From: ssimpson@trumpet.calpoly.edu

I should warn you that the rhythm isn't quite right on this, but this
should get you a close enough feel for the song to be able to play along
with the CD and work out the rhythm.

So it goes kinda like:
Riff 1 (several times), Riff 2, Riff 3, Riff 2, Riff 3

Riff 1
It drains all of my life force

Riff 1
A body like a unicorn, it's a phobia

Riff 3 Riff 1
In this crowded room the people just stare

Riff 2
Descend my soul (or whatever)...

Riff 3

Riff 2
Descand my soul, etc...


I think you get the idea. Two notes: first, I'm doing this completely by
memory since I currently have access to either my guitar nor the CD at the
moment; secondly, the bass does NOT appear to follow the guitar. I've not
quite figured out the bass yet, though, but there appear to be some
counterpoint involved.

Someone posted a version of Power sometime ago (john)

Here is mine

I dont claim this to be correct, its just the way I play it


Power
-----

by The Nephilim

(Normal tuning)


Bass 1:

|---------------------|
|--3-2-0---2----------|
|--------3---3-2-0----|
|------------------5--|

Bass 2:

|-------|
|-------|
|--3----|
|----5--|

Intro: Bass1 + Bass2 x 3

Then one guitar play Bass1 while the other plays a G chord (probably
a barre chord on the third fret, but Im not sure

Main Riff:

Guitar 1:
|---------------------|
|---------------------|
|---------------------|
|----------------0-2--|
|--0-----0-3p2p0------|
|---------------------|
|
Guitar 2:
|---------------------|
|---------------------|
|---------------------|
|---3p2p0-------------|
|---------------------|
|---------------------|

In fact, you can play both riffs in one guitar, but Guitar2 should
sound quieter

During the break they play something like:

|--------------------------|
|----15--------------------|
|----14-14-17p16p14-14-----|
|----------------------16--|
|--0-----------------------|

Intro Main Riff x 4

Then the second guitar enters with an A5 chord (X022XX)

During the lyrics keep playing:

|-----------------------------|

"The Preacher Says...


Then the power chord seems to change to (0022XX) during the first :

"Let it be the End"


On the chorus:


|------------------------|

|----7-7-5-5p4----0------|
|--0---------------------| < let this ring

Ending chorus with one guitar playing:

|--3--3--3---|
|---1--1--1--|
|----0--0----|

Also near the end the second guitar plays (while the first keeps
playing the main riff) :

|--------------------|
|--------------------|
|--------------------|
|--0--3--5--5--3--0--| Difficult uh?, full distortion
|--------------------| It seems to sound like if they were harmonics..?

And finally the end, believers : :>

And repeat :

|----1--3----3-1-0---|
|--2--2--2--2-2-2----|
|--------------------|
|--------------------| Till the end

Lyrics:

The Preacher says to all his men: I hear Godly laughter
Can it be the end?
With eyes on fire, couldn't be so cold

I hear Godly laughter, let it be the end
Let it be the end

Well I hate your conscience, Let's skip this world
I hate your Gods people who breath on earth
Over to the other side, I'm caught stepping out
Over to the other side, Save your brothers now

Let
Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes {Possibly: Ice!}

Honest men, These worthy men
In all my dreams, I hear Godly laughter
Unleash your souls, The Faceless knows
I'm disclosed, It's not the God I'm after

Let it be the end, let it be the end
Let it be the end believe us Chord of Souls
Let it be the end, let it be the end
Let it be the end between us Chord of Souls

Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes


And I hate your country, And I hate your world
I hate your Gods people who breath on earth
Over to the other side, I'm caught stepping out
Over to the other side
I'm gonna recreate a religious experience to tear my fucking heart out

The End!- Believe us
Let it be the end
May the End believe us
Lord of Souls
May the End believe us
Let it be the end, let it be the end between us chord of souls

Let it end, let it end, let it end

FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM - "Celebrate"

Comments, corrections etc. welcome.

Par Svensson, t89par@tdb.uu.se

This is my interpretation of the bassline, as played on guitar. Just
tune it down an octave ;-)


The "..." indicates repetition of the "0 2 0 2" line appropriate
number of times.

Watchman -Fields of the Nephilim.
~~~~~~~~
TAB by: Nik Foreman

I'll now try to write down the Watchman intro, but be prepared to
move it to a different key (it sounded alright to me last time I
played it to the record - see what you think)

Riff 1 Riff 2 Riff 3
..............|------|..|------|...........|------------------------------|..

E|---2--0-0---2--0-0---------0---------0----0------0------0------0------0---|
B|-00-00-0-0---00-0-0---30010-0--300110-0-----0-1-1--0-1-1--0-1-1--0-110-0--|
G|----------0--------0---------0---------0-2-2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-2--2-2-----0-|
D|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|

So as you can see the first bit follows the pattern:
2 x Riff1 + 2 x Riff2 + Riff3

The two parts with singing follow the pattern:
Riff1 + Riff2 + 2xRiff1 + 2xRiff2 + Riff3 (there is a little
embellishment here and there)

But on the very last time lose the last five notes of Riff3 and
sustain the last '1' on the B-string. One other point is when you
play the '2's in Riff3 sustain the note throughout the sequence.
