Necrophiliac

                                 SLAYER
                              NECROPHILIAC
                   From their ’85 album ’Hell Awaits’

Tabbed by:  Jason Mathie
            Mathie@unixg.ubc.ca

Classic Slayer tune.

Comments:

I will only show the necessary strings throughout this tab.

Notation explanation:
  |---------|
  |--3tr4---|  Trill.  Hammer on and off the 4th fret very quickly.
  |---------|

  |-------|-------////----|-------|  This means repeat the last
  |-------|----*-////-----|-------|  four measures.
  |-------|-----////-*----|-------|
  |-------|----////-------|-------|

Generally one dash is a sixteenth note in length.  So ---- is one beat.
Sometimes there’s a lot of double digit fret positions or notation
symbols so I have to stretch it out more.  When that happens I’ll use
8 dashes one beat.

Guitars are tuned to Eb.  On this album, opposite to all the others,
King is the LeftGtr and Hanneman is the RightGtr.

Play Riff A 4x with lyrics:

  Mortuaries dead of night                       My body starts to rise
  In my mind the horror lives                 To feel death deep inside
  Relentless lust of rotting flesh          To thrash the tomb she lies
  Heathen whore of Satan’s wrath                  I spit at your demise

  Satan’s cross points to hell                 The earth I must uncover

  I feel the urge, the growing need          To fuck this sinful corpse

Play Riff A 3x with lyrics:

  Her stomach burst, the casket breaks           The seed has taken form
  A writhing shape of twisted flesh          The devil’s child is thrown
  Hungry for the smell of death                  He rules forbidden evil

  Lucifer takes my dark soul
