Bitter Peace
Composição de (Jeff Hanneman)

This song has one of the most unusual structures for a Slayer song.  
If you try to play along with the CD, I guarantee that bar of 9/8 will  
ruin your timing.  Very odd transition.  
  
Comments:  
  
I will only show the bottom three strings throughout this tab.  
  
Notation explanation:  
     /=3=\  
  |---------|  
  |--0-0-0--|  Triplets.  Play 3 notes where you would normally play 2.  
  |---------|  
  
  |9:-| |2:-|  
  |8:-| |4:-|  Time signature changes.  All bars are 4/4 otherwise.  
  |---| |---|  
  
  |---3-/5--|  Pick the 3rd fret, slide to the 5th and pick it as well.    
  |---------|  
  |---3//5--|  Pick the 3rd fret and slide to the 5th.  
  
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  
8 dashes one beat.  
  
Guitars are drop-Db tuned, which means tune to Eb but drop the sixth  
string to Db.  Hanneman is the LeftGtr and King the RightGtr.

  Murder within the skin                        Engrave the art of war
