SLAYER
                         READ BETWEEN THE LIES
                 From their fine album 'South of Heaven'

Tabbed by:  Mathie@unixg.ubc.ca

I think I've probably looked at every Slayer tab on the internet at least
twice in my efforts to learn these songs the easy way (read: not figuring
it out myself).  I don't believe I've ever seen this song and it's one of
my favourites.

Comments:

Since none of the riffs in this song venture into the two first strings, i
will omit them.

I didn't bother with designating palm muting.  I'm sure you can all tell
when a note should be muted.

As usual, guitars are tuned to Eb.  For interest's sake, Hanneman has the
left stereo channel and King the right channel (also as usual).

Oh, and I've included the lyrics with each riff so you can scream along
whilst you play.  Otherwise it's just not as annoying to people around
you.

Tempo 187 bpm

  Evangelist you claim god speaks through you
  Your restless mouth full of lies gains popularity
  You care not for the old that suffer
  When empty pockets cry from hunger

  Searching for the answers to their prayers
  They cry their last wish of need

Both Gtrs play Riff B 4x:                         |-6-|

  Save Me!

Both Gtrs play Riff A1 again 4x:

  His spirit lives and breathes in me
  The almighty transformed to your screen
  The meanings lost in its translation
  No holy words describe his deception

Riff A3

Both Gtrs play Riff A3 4x:

  You say you'll help us find the lord
  Tell me preacher how do you know
  A simple quest for a simple savior
  To lead us through our final prayer

On the fourth repeat Right Gtr does a quick little slide
into the chorus.

Both Gtrs play Riff B 4x:

  Save Me!

Then Both Gtrs play Riff B again 4x:

  Send your donations
  Contribute to the cause
  Luxuries
  Your righteous reward?
  Praise the lord, praise god
  is what you wish to sell
  There is no Heaven
  Without a Hell

Riff C1  (Careful with the rhythm)
Gb|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
Db|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
Ab|----4-----------|4-3---------7---|----4---------4-|3-----------7\6-|
Eb|2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|2-1-2-2-2-2-5---|2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-|1-2-2-2-2-2-5\4-|

Now, while Hanneman solos:
Right Gtr plays Riff C1 4x

Riff C2  (moved up 1 note)

Ab|----5-----------|5-4---------8---|----5---------5-|4-----------8\7-|

Right Gtr plays Riff C2 2x

Back to the verses:

Both Gtrs play Riff C1 4x:

  In your mind's eye could you
  Truly believe
  That by giving you can save your soul
  Could you be so naive
  You heal the sick
  Raise the dead
  You blind the congregation
  With the things you say

Both Gtrs play Riff C2:

  Religious blackmail a deceit of trust
  That death will come and all will be lost

Both Gtrs play Riff C1 2x:

  Can you hear the serpent's call
  Look deep in those deceiving eyes
  Ignore the writing on the wall
  You should read between the lies.

Then, Gtr 2 stays silent while Gtr 1 plays Riff A1

Then both Gtrs play Riff A1 8x:

  When doubt subsides his honesty
  An inquiry, is it blasphemy?
  Impure the soul, that's made to suffer
  No sermons left to hide or cover
  An empty promise, lie unfulfilled
  To steal a dream or get it killed
  They claim your trip to heavens nearby
  You may believe it, but Satan wouldn't lie.

Interlude (Both Gtrs)   /== 1 =============\/== 2 ======\
Gb ||--------7---------|------------------||------------|

Ab ||*-----------------|---9-------8-7~--*||4:----9-----|
Eb ||--0-0-0-----0-0---|-----0-0----------||--------0-0-|

After the quick interlude, simply repeat the intro.  The song ends just
before going into the 5th ending.
