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 toEb
. 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

Penniless from their generosity
Sharing their money to quench your greed
Searching for the answers to their prayers
They cry their last wish of need

Save Me!
Both Gtrs play RiffA1
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

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 RiffB
4x:
Save Me!
Then Both Gtrs play RiffB
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
RiffC1

4x

Right Gtr plays RiffC2
2x
Back to the verses:
Both Gtrs play RiffC1
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 RiffC1
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 RiffA1
Then both Gtrs play RiffA1
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

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