 Hey all Death-fans!


 *******************


 


 Here's the tab for the opening song from the latest Death album


 Symbolic. The solo isn't tabbed because I can't play it :(


 If someone has the solo, please e-mail it to me, I would


 appreciate it.


 


 I included timing and I think it is pretty correct. The palm-muted


 section in Rhy.Fig.2 is a real killer for your picking hand, so'


 practice it first slowly with a metronome gradually increasing


 tempo. This helps your learning a lot. And play the ending of


 Rhy.Fig.4 and Rhy.Fig.6 with downstrokes.


 


 Send feedback, corrections and additions to amok@linux.muhos.fi.


 Have fun!


 Chuck Schuldiner - guitar and vocals


 Kelly Conlon - bass


 Gene Hoglan - drums

 Symbolic (music & lyrics Schuldiner)
 
 {sot}
 --------
 {eot}
 
 I don't mean to dwell
 But I can't help myself
 When I feel the vibe
 And taste a memory
 Of a time in life
 When years seemed to stand still
 
 I close my eyes
 And sink within myself
 Relive the gift of precious memories
 In need of a fix called innocence
 
 When did it begin?
 The change to come was undetectable
 The open wounds expose the importance of
 Our innocence
 A high that can never be bought or sold
 
 Chorus:
 Symbolic acts - so vivid
 Yet at the same time
 Were invisible
 
 Savor what you feel and what you see
 Things that may not seem important now
 But may be tomorrow
 
 Do you remember when
 Things seemed so eternal?
 Heroes were so real...
 Their magic frozen in time
 The only way to learn
 Is be aware and hold on tight
 
 I close my eyes
 And sink within myself
 Relive the gift of precious memories
 In need of a fix called innocence
 
 When did it begin?
 The change to come was undetectable
 The open wounds expose the importance of
 Our innocence
 A high that can never be bought or sold
 
 Repeat chorus
