  Desire 
  				      By: Slayer 
  			     Tabbed by: David Schellhaas 
   
  I am only writing the bottom 5 strings since the 1st string isn't used  
  at all in the rythm 
  guitars in the song.  Actually, my 1st string was broken when I figured  
  this song out!  Also 
  I don't think I marked "Gtr.1" and "Gtr.2" consistently.  So, basically,  
  I may say "Gtr.1 play 
  this", then later on I have it play a riff that the other guitar plays  
  on the album.  I just 
  wanted to say that so nobody would get confused for some reason. 
   
  Tuning:  Db, Ab, Db, Gb, Bb, eb (Tune half step down, then bring 6th  
  string down 1 step) 
   
  Introduction Riffs: 
   
  Gtr. 1 play this x4 
  Bb|-----8-------------8------------ 
  Gb|--------7-------------7--------- 
  Db|--0--------5---0---------------- 
  Ab|-------------------------------- 
  Db|-------------------------------- 
   
  Now Gtr. 2 plays this x4 
  Bb|-------------------------------6---------9----- 
  Gb|--------7----------6--------3----3----6----6--- 
  Db|-----5----5-----4----4--0----------0----------- 
  Ab|--5----------5--------------------------------- 
  Eb|----------------------------------------------- 
  Let Ring throughout------->>> 
   
  Now both guitars get distortion and play this once 
  Bb|----------------------------- 
  Gb|--------7-----------8-------- 
  Db|-----5----5-----6------------ 
  Ab|--5----------5--------------- 
  Eb|----------------------------- 
   
  Now guitars 1 & 2 play the MAIN RIFF x4 
  Bb|------------------------------------------ 
  Gb|-------7--------6--------10---------13---- 
  Db|--0-5----5--0-4---4--0-8----8--0-11---11-- 
  Ab|------------------------------------------ 
  Eb|------------------------------------------ 
   
  Now Gtr.2 plays this riff.  Since it's played a lot, I'm gonna call it  
  RIFF 666 
  so I can refer to it later on. 
  Bb|--------------------------------------- 
  Gb|--------------------------------------- 
  Db|--1-------1--------1-------------6----- 
  Ab|--1-------1--------1-------------6----- 
  Eb|--1--0-0--1--0-000-1--0-0-0-000--6----- 
        pm----    -----    --------- 
   
  Gtr.1 comes in while gtr.2 is playing that.  It plays this: 
  Bb|------------------------------- 
  Gb|------------------------------- 
  Db|--6--0--------(0)---------6--- 
  Ab|--6--0--------(0)---------6--- 
  Eb|--6--0--------(0)---------6--- 
   
  That leads into the VERSE 
   
  Guitar 1 
  Bb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
  Gb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
  Db|-----0--------------------0------------------------0---------------------0-------------------| 
  Ab|--------1---0---3-6-5--------1--0--1-----5/8-7--------1---0---3-6-5*--------1--0--1----5/8-7-| 
  Eb|--00-------------------00----------------5/8-7--00--------------------00---------------5/8-7-| 
    |pm--                   --                       --  
                     --                     | 
    |Guitar 2  
                                                                                      | 
  Bb|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

  Db|-----0--------------------0------------------------0---------------------0-------------------| 
  Ab|--------1---0---3-6-5--------1--0--1-----5/8-7--------1---0---3-6-5*--------1--0--1----5/8-7-| 
  Eb|--00-------------------00----------------5/8-7--00--------------------00---------------5/8-7-| 
     pm--                   --                       --  
                     --                  
   
  * = In the second verse, play an Artificial Harmonic here 
   
  They both play that once, then while Gtr.1 plays it again, Gtr.2 decides  
  to play some other stuff. 
  Here's what it plays: 
  Bb|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| 
  Gb|----------------------------------------------------------5-8-7~--------------------------| 
  Db|-----0----------3-5-6~----0----------------------0--------------------0-------------------| 
  Ab|--------1---0----------------1--0--1---5/8-7-------1---0-----------------1--0--1---5/8-7--| 
  Eb|--00-------------------00--------------5/8-7--00-------------------00--------------5/8-7--| 
    pm---                   --                     --                   -- 
   
  Right before the chorus, one of the guitars plays this: 
  "RIFF B.L.A.H." 
  Bb|---------------------------------------| 
  Gb|---------------------------------------| 
  Db|---5-5-5-5--4-4-4-4--1-1-1-1--4-4-4-4--| 
  Ab|---5-5-5-5--4-4-4-4--1-1-1-1--4-4-4-4--| 
  Eb|---------------------------------------| 
   
   
  Now for the CHORUS, play the MAIN RIFF (it's written up above) 
   
   
  Okay, now come the leads.  I'm not putting them up now cause I haven'd  
  figured them out yet. 
  If I decide to figure them out, then I will add them on to this tab.   
  But for now on, you'll 
  have to settle with the rhythm riffs for them: 
   
  Rhythm during the 1st lead: 
  Bb|---------------------------------------| 
  Gb|---------------------------------------| 
  Db|---------------------------------------| 
  Ab|---5-5-5-5--4-4-4-4--1-1-1-1--4-4-4-4--| 
  Eb|---5-5-5-5--4-4-4-4--1-1-1-1--4-4-4-4--| 
      pm---------------------------------- 
   
  For the second lead, play RIFF 666.  If you've already fortotten what it  
  was, it is writen at 
  the top of the tab for your viewing pleasure.  Continue playing this  
  riff (RIFF 666 in case 
  you forgot within the past 2 seconds) throughout the entire 3rd verse.   
  Then before the 3rd 
  CHORUS Guitar Whichever plays RIFF B.L.A.H. twice, and during the 2nd  
  time, the other guitar 
  plays these chords: 
   
  Bb|-------------------| 
  Gb|---7---6---3---6---| 
  Db|---5---4---1---4---| 
  Ab|-------------------| 
  Eb|-------------------|  
   
  Okay, to end the song the guitars play 
  Bb|------------------------------ 
  Gb|--------7-----------8-------- 
  Db|-----5----5-----6------------ 
  Ab|--5----------5--------------- 
  Eb|------------------------------ 
   
  Key: 
  / -slide from indicated fret to indicated fret 
  -opposite of / 
  pm - palm mute.  I use "-" things to notate the palm mutes. 
  ~ - Vibrato the string 
  "Let Ring" - this means hold the notes as long as you can!  If you let  
  go, you will DIE!!!! 
  Uhhh.......oh yeah.  One more:  (0) - this means hold the note 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  Desire 
  by Slayer 
  From Diabolus in Musica 
  Tabbed by SS-3 
  ss-3@slayerized.com 
  Kind of Guitar-B.C.Rich Warlock (black w/ yellow lightning) 
   
  This song is tuned down 1 1/2 steps 
  I only know the letters for standard 
  tuning so pretend it's in standard.... 
   
  This, of course, isn't perfect, it's 
  just the way I play it at home. 
   
  -Slide Down 
  /-Slide Up 
  .-Palm Mute 
  (1)-The brackets mean to let it ring, not to pick it again 
  ~-Vibrato

  That's the whole song, just follow along and you'll get it. 
  You don't have to look back at another riff or anything 
  it's all there. Have fun. If there's anything anyone wants 
  to correct then send me an e-mail at ss-3@slayerized.com
