Skull Beneath the Skin

• E5

Skull Beneath The SKin : megadeth : killing is my business... 
 
I don't know the lead guitar intro.  When the band comes 
in,  hold this chord and strike at random ( listen to the recording ) 
 
 
G)---9---- 
D)---9---- 
A)---7---- 
E)---0---- 
 
                       then this is the part where Dave starts the scream: 
 
D)-------------------------------------------------------------- 
A)---7-----------------------5--7-------------------------8--7-- 
E)-------5--6--7--8---5--7------------5--6--7--8---5--7--------- 
 
                                repeat several times.  The last time, hold 
the E5 chord again. 
this is where it speeds up: 
 
D)-------------4--------5----------------------------4-------------- 
A)-------------2--------3----------5-----------------2-----------3-- 
E)---0--0----------0--------0--0---3----0--0--0-----------0--0---1-- 
 
 
                               repeat that several times.  then play: 
 
G)---9-------------9--------------------- 
D)---9-------------9--------------------- 
A)---7---7--7--7---7--------------------- 
E)------------------------0--0--0--0----- 
 
                              the last time, finish with: 
 
D)---4------------ 
A)---2------3----- 
E)----------1----- 
 
                          verse rhythm: 
 
G)---/--9--x--x---9--x--x--x---7--------------------- 
D)---/--9--x--x---9--x--x--x---7-----7---8---x--x--- 
A)---/--7--x--x---7--x--x--x---5-----7---8---x--x--- 
E)-----------------------------------5---6---x--x--- 
 
                         repeat several times.  Then play: 
 
G)---------------9--------------4--------------3-------------11--\ 
D)---------------9--------------4--------------3-------------11--\ 
A)---------------7--------------2--------------1--------------9--\ 
E)---0--0--0--------0--0--0-------0--0--0-------0--0--0---------- 
 
                              then repeat the verse rhythm with the 2nd 
verse.  After that, play: 
 
G)--9--9--9----9---9--9--9----9-------------------------------- 
D)--9--9--9----9---9--9--9----9-----5--5--5-----5-----4-------- 
A)--7--7--7----7---7--7--7----7-----5--5--5-----5-----2-----3-- 
E)----------------------------------3--3--3-----3-----------1-- 
 
                                Chorus part ( "the skull beneath the skin" ) 
 
D)----------------------4---3-------------5--------- 
A)----------------------2---1-------------5---------    repeat 
E)---0--0--0--0--0-----------------0--0---3---0--0-- 
                                               
                                   
                                     ending:
