A Skull Full Of Maggots by Cannibal Corpse
A Skull Full Of Maggots
Notation explanation:
/=3=
|---------|
|--0-0-0--| Triplets. Play 3 notes where you would normally play 2.
|---------|
|3:-| |4:-|
|4:-| |4:-| Time signature changes.
|---| |---|
Generally one dash is a sixteenth note in length. So ---- is one beat.
Sometimes there's a lot of double digit fret positions or notation
symbols so I have to stretch it out more. When that happens I'll use
the usual method of writing the note lengths underneath each note.
q=quarter (1 beat) e=eighth (1/2 beat) s=sixteenth (1/4 beat)
Uppercase signifies a rest.
Guitars are tuned to Eb. Guitarists are Bob Rusay (LeftGtr) and Jack
Owen (RightGtr).
The lyrics are here for you to growl, but the words are _very_
unintelligable on this album.

Lying there cold after a torturous death
Your life ended fast you took your last breath
Dead in a grave, your final place
The maggots infest your disfigured face
Puss through your veins takes the place of blood
Decay sets in, bones begin to crack
Thrown six feet down left to rot
Brains oozing black down the side of your broken neck
Skull full of maggots
They enter your tomb-maggots-beginning to feast-maggots
Crawling on you-maggots-now they eat you-maggots
Rotting maggots-maggots-infesting your corpse-maggots
Parasites of the dead-maggots-now dwell in your head
Lying there cold after a torturous death
Your life ended fast you took your last breath
Dead in a grave, your final place
The maggots infest your disfigured face
Puss through your veins takes the place of blood
Decay sets in, bones begin to crack
Thrown six feet down left to rot
Brains oozing black down the side of your broken neck
