** INFECTED

** off the album CAUSE OF DEATH

** by Obituary

** Transcribed by Kevin Phillips, kphill@iconz.co.nz

Well, I was pleased to get some reaction from my 'Cause of Death' tab,

and I was asked for INFECTED. So, I scanned through a huge wad of paper and

found a few pages of TAB. Note that Most of this could be wrong..

I don't have a Guitar to check all the riffs out (TAB is 4-5 years old!)

so I've been using Scream Tracker to experiment. The guitar effects

are nowhere as good as the real thing, but I guess most of it sounded right!

If you have tabbed it, corrected it or find any problems then gimme an email

with your questions, Tab or corrections. Thanks!

Until I get my Guitar back, I am almost Tabbed out, so don't ask for too many

more requests please!! (See my Tabs - Slayer/Death/Obituary/Sepultura on

Nevada or one of its mirrors!) I still have the odd bits of TAB around, though!

Enjoy!

LYRICS (yes..REALLY!)

----------------------

Someone asked me for the Lyrics (Urhm.. Hmm.. Tough job!) and I mentioned that I

had read an interview in some magazine where John Tardy said that he was more

a 'Vocal Instrument' and simply used words and noises that went with the songs.

I Thought this could be good for a laugh!! If you think up some other versions

let me know... Lets see who can get the closest!!!

** First Verse:

I believe below ("Rhye believe below??") (Who knows!)

we're getting the destiny

/My rotting soul

we pray it hides the soul

Living life will fall.

/Aaaarrggghhhh!!

The killing is anylee (?)

We're checking out to die

/The other side

We pray it hides the world

/Aaarrggghhhhhh!!! (Again!)

Living is only.. Live...

** Second Verse:

You love the soul

we're giving one to say

/I love the soul

we're dying now in pain

we're giving the soul

/Aaaaarrrrggghhhh!!

** Chorus: (This was Easy!!)

Kil-ling

Send you to your grave

dy-ing

soon with one the same

Tear-ing

rid you of your limbs

infected soon

infected

** Lead Guitar break, then

Peal-ling

Rid you of your skin

Infected

/Infected

Com-ing

Soon the end of life

Dy-ing

???? ??? ???? in fright

sharrrrrr!!!!!

Eaaa-aaarrr!!!!

Heh! Heh!! Now, That should keep a few of you amused!
