This tab is not very accurate, but its better than nothing. For now its
the only complete tab of Sweet Blasphemy, from beginning to end. That
said, if you have any corrections or better ways to play it, feel
free to tell me so.

The chorus is then played the same way its played in the beginning.
After the chorus comes the 2nd pre verse.

The pre-chorus is the same, except it is repeated only x2 instead of x4.
Then the chorus is played again, same as always.

this one below)

(All are palm muted, there is also a pickslide
at the last repeat instead of 77774477)
Then play the whole chorus, but twice this time, since its the last one
Finally, the Outro:
Rhythm 1
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------7-7-7-9-------------------------------------|
|--7h9p7-6h7----------------x-x-x-x--4-4\-------------------------------|

|------------------------9~----9-9-9--12--4-4\--------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------4-4\--------------------------|
And thats it, I guess. Again, its not very accurate, but it
will be useful. If the strumming patterns in this tab confuse you, just
listen to the song, its pretty obvious where everythings at.
