** INFECTED
** off the album CAUSE OF DEATH
** by Obituary
** Transcribed by Kevin Phillips, kphill@iconz.co.nz
Well, I was pleased to get some reaction from my 'Cause of Death' tab,
and I was asked for INFECTED. So, I scanned through a huge wad of paper and
found a few pages of TAB. Note that Most of this could be wrong..
I don't have a Guitar to check all the riffs out (TAB is 4-5 years old!)
so I've been using Scream Tracker to experiment. The guitar effects
are nowhere as good as the real thing, but I guess most of it sounded right!
If you have tabbed it, corrected it or find any problems then gimme an email
with your questions, Tab or corrections. Thanks!
Until I get my Guitar back, I am almost Tabbed out, so don't ask for too many
more requests please!! (See my Tabs - Slayer/Death/Obituary/Sepultura on
Nevada or one of its mirrors!) I still have the odd bits of TAB around, though!
Enjoy!

LYRICS (yes..REALLY!)
----------------------
Someone asked me for the Lyrics (Urhm.. Hmm.. Tough job!) and I mentioned that I
had read an interview in some magazine where John Tardy said that he was more
a 'Vocal Instrument' and simply used words and noises that went with the songs.
I Thought this could be good for a laugh!! If you think up some other versions
let me know... Lets see who can get the closest!!!
** First Verse:
I believe below ("Rhye believe below??") (Who knows!)
we're getting the destiny
/My rotting soul
we pray it hides the soul
Living life will fall.
/Aaaarrggghhhh!!
The killing is anylee (?)
We're checking out to die
/The other side
We pray it hides the world
/Aaarrggghhhhhh!!! (Again!)
Living is only.. Live...
** Second Verse:
You love the soul
we're giving one to say
/I love the soul
we're dying now in pain
we're giving the soul
/Aaaaarrrrggghhhh!!
** Chorus: (This was Easy!!)
Kil-ling
Send you to your grave
dy-ing
soon with one the same
Tear-ing
rid you of your limbs
infected soon
infected
** Lead Guitar break, then
Peal-ling
Rid you of your skin
Infected
/Infected
Com-ing
Soon the end of life
Dy-ing
???? ??? ???? in fright
sharrrrrr!!!!!
Eaaa-aaarrr!!!!
Heh! Heh!! Now, That should keep a few of you amused!
