Artist: OverKill Song: Damned Album: KillBox 13 Transcribed by Kevin 'Agonymph' Pasman Tuning: C# F# B# E# (1½ step down) I am normally not too fond of half tuning, but for this great tune from OverKill's latest album, it's a lot easier to tune the bass to a C#-tuning. This is the first request tab I handle, but I'm quite sure it will work out just fine. The song starts out with just some guitar work (with some hi-hats underneath), the last measure of this intro just contains a E-note (lowest string, 3rd fret) after that, Hell breaks loose and DD plays this (the same Dave plays during the intro): Riff A (Play twice): E#|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| B#|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| F#|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| C#|0---3-0-6---5-6-|0---3-0-6-6-5-6-|0---3-0-6---5-6-|3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|| The following riff (which actually starts out with a bass break) contains a lot of hammerons and pulloffs which might be a little tricky to play. But practice makes perfect :) Riff B (Play 4 times): |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |3h4p3h4p3h4p3---|--3--h4p3h4p3---|| The verses are compiled of Riff C (see below) 4 times and Riff B 4 times. Then play Riff C 4 times again and you've got the verse. Riff C: |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |----7-------7---|----7-----------|| |0-0---0-0-0---0-|0-0---0-0-3-5-3-|| (1st verse) Took a little time before we're done to love me Took a little more than I ever did before Took your bad intentions Took your all excite And if I didn't mention Took my inhuman rights It's a heavy-weight title 'bout The more I live, the more I find out For the Chorus, return to Riff A again, play it 4 times, with the only exception that the very last measure is replaced by this: Fill 1: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |3-3-----3-3-----|3-3-----3-3-----|3-3-----3-3-----|3---------------|| (Chorus) Damned, for if I love me Damned, for if I care Damned, for all the make ya feel betters As the damned scream this ain't fair Damned, for if I love me Damned, for if I care Damned, for all the make ya feel betters As the damned scream this ain't fair Then the second verse starts, just repeat the verse sequence again (Riff C 4 times, Riff B 4 times and Riff C 4 times again). The Chorus after that is actually just Riff A 4 times, so no Fill 1 this time! (2nd verse) Had a little time before I went and fucked me Had a little trouble, getting up off the floor Had your "I'm not like that" Hand up in my face Head bobbing like a wet rat No love for the human race The more fuel, the farther I go The more I live, the more I...no-no-no (Chorus) Damned, for if I love me Damned, for if I care Damned, for all the make ya feel betters As the damned scream this ain't fair Damned, for if I love me Damned, for if I care Damned, for all the make ya feel betters As the damned scream this ain't fair The bridge starts out with 4 measures for guitar only, after that, the bass enters as well as the drums and the second guitar. Riff D (Play 6 times, vocals enter 3rd time): |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |6-6-----6-6-----|6-6-----6-6-----|| (Bridge) Damned if I do and damned if I don't Damned if I will and damned if I won't Damned for your screaming that this ain't fair God damn your dreaming 'cause I don't care Underneath the solo, the bass plays this: Riff E (Play twice): 3x |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |0-0-0-1---0---0-|0-0-1---0-0-1---|| |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |0-0-0-1---0---0-|3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|| Basically, you return to the beginning of the song now. Play Riff B 4 times and start the verse. The only difference in the last verse is that instead of playing Riff B 4 times, you play it 3½ times (leave out the last measure) and you leave out the last 4 times you played Riff C. The Chorus is the same as the first Chorus again; Riff A 4 times and the last measure is replaced by Fill 1 once again. (3rd verse) Took a little time before you tried to do me Made a little spot for you right there on the floor So fuck your good intentions Fuck your human rights Fuck your finger in my face This time I'm gonna bite (Chorus) Damned, for if I love me Damned, for if I care Damned, for all the make ya feel betters As the damned scream this ain't fair Damned, for if I love me Damned, for if I care Damned, for all the make ya feel betters As the damned scream this ain't fair Then the song is over. Easy isn't it? Didn't realize that until I tried to transcribe it. Thanks to whoever requested this tab!
