(from the album 'COWBOYS FROM HELL')
Special note - I have
NOT put in the Palm Muting used on this track. Also in
riff 9(b), the symbol
'/' means slide the chord up. All the riffs are in [4/4]
except where the time
signature is shown in brackets after the number, pay
special attention to
number 2(c), where the signature changes within the riff.
All of the 'COUNTS'
are only rough!!!!!!
Special note no.2 - If
it is a bit difficult to get the chords in the riffs no.
1(a) - 1(c), try playing
only the root note of the chord (the bottom note).

VERSE 1:

Agony is the price that
you pay in the end
Domination consumes
you then calls you a friend.
riff 4 * 1
It's a twisted fall.
riff 3(a) *1.5
Binds are like steel
and manipulates the will to be.
riff 3(b) *1
An eternity.
riff 3(a) *1.5
How soon we forget when
there's nothing else left to destroy
It's a useless ploy.
riff 4 *1

riff 5(a) *1
Your eyes will see the
dawn of the day
And the writing on the
wall.

Those words that stare
into your soul
and to yourself you
will befall.

Living hell. Domination.

REPEAT FROM VERSE 1
Lyrics for verse 2:
A now blacked heart
is reaching out in divinity.
Body suspended by chains
over razors and nails, it's a penalty.
Each razor a vice and
each nail marks demise of your life.
Grim construction grows.
Life plays its tricks
seals you in brick by brick till your end
forcing you to bend.
Bend up A5 chord at end of riff 2(c).
riff 6 *4
riff 7 *1 (whilst bass
plays riff 6)
SOLO starts in 12th posn.,
whilst bass plays variations on verse & pre-chorus
riffs, followed by rhythm
going from E - F - G - A.
riff 8 *4
SOLO (tapping) whilst
bass plays riff 8 *4
riff 9(a) *1
riff 9(b) *1
riff 9(a) *1
riff 9(b) *1
END.
