Message In Blood by Pantera







                            Message In Blood






DROP-D TUNING

   Note: In my opinion Dime did not use Drop-D tuning.
         I decided to do a tab that would be somewhat easy to learn and
         play... (..the word somewhat is strongly emphasised..)

   **     I have never seen the original music sheets for this song.
          This tab does not represent the author's work
          in any way and is merely an interpretation based on my ear.

   Legend: b   bend
           r   release
           ~   vibrate
           .   mute
           pb  pre-bend
           /   slide up to
           \   slide down (from)
           (s) change fret hand position

There's a place that I keep deep inside me
It can trigger my mind
All along I knew it has been with me
Since I was just a child

I just summon power within my soul
It has given me life, beyond life I take
Blame for my murderous problem my signature
Always reminds

It's a message in blood
It's your cryptic warning
Within the message in blood
[ Pantera Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Marks the years of pain,
And your godforsaken ending to life

I'm provoked into sick confrontations, brutal
Time after time, bed of nails, suffocation,
life's ending, slay in different designs
One mans misery is another mans mystery
No one cares to understand my
Demented means
Sticks and stones can break all your
brittle bones, epitaph written at your feet

It's a message in blood
It's your cryptic warning
Within the message in blood
Marks the years of pain,
And your godforsaken ending to life

There's a place that I keep deep inside me
It can trigger my mind
All along I knew it has been with me
Since I was just a child

I just summon power within my soul
It has given me life, beyond life I take
Blame for my murderous problem my signature
Always reminds

It's a message in blood
It's your cryptic warning
Within the message in blood
[ Pantera Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Marks the years of pain,
And your godforsaken ending to life

I'm provoked into sick confrontations, brutal
Time after time, bed of nails, suffocation,
life's ending, slay in different designs
One mans misery is another mans mystery
No one cares to understand my
Demented means
Sticks and stones can break all your
brittle bones, epitaph written at your feet

It's a message in blood
It's your cryptic warning
Within the message in blood
Marks the years of pain,
And your godforsaken ending to life
