DEATH ^ÓPULL THE PLUG^Ô

Music and lyrics by Chuck Schuldiner

from the 1988 Combat album "LEPROSY"

transcribed by platypus 12-05-02
this is all my own work...seems pretty accurate

The classic song from their brutal second album,
one of the best the late, great Chuck Schuldiner
ever wrote.

These are only first few riffs, I'm doing this from memory.

Guitar tone should be heavily distorted with lots of bass!
