Reborn

                                 SLAYER
                              R E B O R N
                From their thrashterpiece ’Reign in Blood’

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

The only tune on this album I haven’t seen a tab for.

Comments:

Only the two low strings required for the riffs in this song.

I won’t bother specifying palm muting.  Just use light palm muting on
the double picked sixteenth notes.

As usual, guitars are tuned to Eb.  Hanneman has the left stereo channel.
When I show both guitars playing at once, Hanneman is on the top.

Starting Tempo: 130 bpm

Play Riff C 4x with lyrics:

  Convicted witch my life will end
  At midnight on the stake
  My dedicated life was spent
  To insubordinate
  Secured by lock inside a cell
  Imprisoned for no crime
  These shackles will be useless
  When your life is out of time

Play Riff D 4x with lyrics:

  Incantation spell gone by
  I will see life again
  My deals will be made eternally
  I signed the book of red
  My rage will be unleashed again
  Burning the next morn
  Death means nothing, there is no end
  I will be reborn

Play Riff B 2x
Play Riff C 4x with lyrics:

  No gift of exile in my fate
  I’ll get no amnesty
  You can’t control my destiny
  There is no habitual need
  Proclaim my death, to end my wrath
  It takes more than one try
  Indulge your ineffective cause
  I will never die

Play Riff D 2x with lyrics:

  You think by killing me tonight
  My powers will not rise
  There’ll be nowhere for you to run
  When my hatred comes to life
  Condemned to fill the prophecy
  Allowing no first born
  Defy your morbid declaration
  Leave you ripped and torn

Then play:   (Hanneman plays some variation on this riff
              but I can’t figure out exactly what it is)

  Count your blessings would be priest
  As I burn upon the stake
  You’d be forgiven endlessly
  But your values are all fake
  Forever servant of my lord
  By choice and not submission
  Maybe now I’ve made you wonder
  Am I superstition
