Song

SLAYER

P O I N T

From their '98 album 'Diabolis in Musica'

Tabbed by: Jason Mathie

Mathie@unixg.ubc.ca

Comments:

I will only show the bottom four strings throughout this tab.

Instead of simply showing palm muting, I will show heavy palm muting and

light palm muting, using H.M and L.M rather than P.M.

Guitars are drop-Db tuned, which means tune to Eb but drop the sixth

string to Db. Hanneman is the LeftGtr and King the RightGtr.

Tempo: 100 bpm

Pure destruction has begun Fearlessly the battle's won

Spread extinction through the dawn Signature of wrath is spawned

Minister of death unleashed My lust for war will never cease

With no remorse I watch you die Body count's the bottom line

Crashing, slashing to the end

Your final pulse has just been spent

Leave you where your comrades lie
