E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| THE SERPENTINE OFFERING - Dimmu Borgir E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Tabbed by: Email: Tuning:There is a bit of discrepancy of whether or not this is in C standard or D standard. For this tab, however, I am in D STANDARD. All of those 3's and 2's and 10's are randomly represented below. Those are the correct notes, but not the correct value of each note. Just listen to the song.
