Artist: Destruction Song: Mad Butcher Album: Sentence Of Death / Mad Butcher (EP) Year: 1984 / 1987 Tabbed by Jori Merilainen, send any corrections, suggestions or questions to: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- One of the first Destruction songs and, in my humble opinion, one of the best ones. There's also a newer version of the song which appeared on their '87 EP "Mad Butcher". That version is a bit different with more riffs and the middle-section is extended with a solo. Don't worry, I've included all the riffs from the new version here. Hope you enjoy this. Standard tuning (EADGBe) Listen to the song for actual timing 1) Main Riff: e|------------------------1-0----------| B|----------------------------1-3p1-0--| G|-------------------------------------| D|------------------3-2-0--------------| A|------------3-2-0--------------------| E|--0-0-3-2-0--------------------------| . . . . . . . 2) Verse: e|---------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------| D|--2-----5-5-5-----5-5-5-------7-8---8--| A|--0-00003p0-3-00003p0-3-0000005-6---6--| E|----....------....------......---------| 3a) Chorus: "Through the blackstreets of the town..." e|----------------------------------------------------------------------| B|----------------------------------------------------------------------| G|----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|--------------------------5-------4-------10-------9-12--12-9-10--10--| A|--2-------5-------4-------3-------2-------8--------7-10--10-7--8---8--| E|--0-0000003-0000002-000000--000000--000000---000000-------------------| ...... ...... ...... ...... ...... ...... 3b) Chorus ending: "Now it's the time you got to feel..." e|------------------------3p0h3p0-----------------------| B|-------------------------------3p0h3p0----------------| G|--------------------------------------2p0h2p0---------| D|--7-9--9-5-7--7-4----------------------------2p0h2p0--| A|--5-7--7-3-5--5-2-------------------------------------| E|------------------------------------------------------| 4) Interlude: "You lie on your bed..." e|---------------------------------------------------------------------| B|---------------------------------------------------------------------| G|---------------------------------------------------------------------| D|----------9-----7-----9---10-10----------------10\9---7/9-----12\10--| A|----------7-----5-----7----8--8---------10\9----8\7---5/7-----10\-8--| E|--0-0-0-0---0-0---0-0---0-------0-0-0-0--8\7-0------0-----0-0--------| . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
