DEATH ^ÓPULL THE PLUG^Ô
Music and lyrics by Chuck Schuldiner
from the 1988 Combat album "LEPROSY"
transcribed by platypus 12-05-02
this is all my own work...seems pretty accurate
The classic song from their brutal second album,
one of the best the late, great Chuck Schuldiner
ever wrote.
These are only first few riffs, I'm doing this from memory.
Guitar tone should be heavily distorted with lots of bass!

Please feel free to add the rest of the song!
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official DEATH tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
