Read Between the Lies

Slayer
TabTuningHalf-Step Down
★4.5(8)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

That's pretty much the whole song. All you need is this last riff:

eb|---------------------------------|-------------------------|
Bb|---------------------------------|-------------------------|
Gb|-------7-------------------------|-------7-----------------|
Db|---------8-----7-8-------7-------|---------8-----7-8-------|
Ab|-------------------9-------8-7---|-------------------9-----|
Eb|-0-0-0-----0-0-------0-0---------|-0-0-0-----0-0-------0-0-|

I didn't include the song order, because if you listen to Slayer, you must be smart.
