The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste Tablature


These are NOT official tabs! All tabs are provided by members of our community. If you see any problems with the tabs we have presented please send us your version! You can PM them directly to me on our Forum under the username Krowe. I will go over them as well as a few other people and if we agree with your changes we will post them and credit you with it. Also, if you can tab out any of the various other instruments used on Ministry albums (like keyboards, synths, drums, harmonica, mandolin, saxophone or whatever) please send those in as well! Eventually we plan to branch this out to cover as much tablature as we can get for the band and people who wish to play their material. If you want to quickly come back to the top of the page just click on a song title.

01. Thieves
===============================

Tuning : Standard (E, A, D, G, B, E)
I know this has been posted before, but it didn't sound quite right
to me. This is how I play it and it sounds much closer, in my opinion.

===============================

Tuning : Standard (E, A, D, G, B, E)
The timing on these two riffs is the same, I just spaced it out to
fit those palm-muted A's in. For chorus, when Al is screaming "Burning 
inside!" Play the tail end of the VERSE riff, but sped up.

First bass enters with the slide. Then it goes on forever,
alternating between riff 1 and 2. Then in the middle of the track 
it stops and then enters with the slide again, etc.
