                                 SLAYER
                              BITTER PEACE
                From their '98 album 'Diabolus in Musica'

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

This song has one of the most unusual structures for a Slayer song.
If you try to play along with the CD, I guarantee that bar of 9/8 will
ruin your timing.  Very odd transition.

Comments:

I will only show the bottom three strings throughout this tab.

Notation explanation:
     /=3=
  |---------|
  |--0-0-0--|  Triplets.  Play 3 notes where you would normally play 2.
  |---------|

  |9:-| |2:-|
  |8:-| |4:-|  Time signature changes.  All bars are 4/4 otherwise.
  |---| |---|

  |---3-/5--|  Pick the 3rd fret, slide to the 5th and pick it as well.
  |---------|
  |---3//5--|  Pick the 3rd fret and slide to the 5th.

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 drop-Db tuned, which means tune to Eb but drop the sixth
string to Db.  Hanneman is the LeftGtr and King the RightGtr.
