Artist: OverKill Song: Genocya Album: From The Underground And Below Transcribed by Kevin 'Agonymph' Pasman Tuning: DGCF (1 step down) 'Genocya' is actually the second request I handle. I was planning to tab the song already, because it sounds like a cool song to play on bass, and when TonyT requested it on the OverKill message board, I immediately knew I was going to do that. I think it's Joe Comeau who starts out the song with 8 measures for guitar only. At the end of the 8th measure, DD's bass slides down from the 12th fret on the D-string and plays the following bass part, which I consider as one of the coolest in OverKill-history: Riff A (Play 4 times): F|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| C|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| D|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-|1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-|6-6-6-6-5-6-5-3-|| The riff that follows is a bit faster than Riff A. It sounds pretty similar though, it's played like this: Riff B: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |0-0--00-3-3--33-|1-1--11-6---5-3-|0-0--00-3-3--33-|1-1--11-003-003-| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |0-0--00-3-3--33-|1-1--11-6---5-3-|0-0--00-3-3--33-|1-1--11-6---5-3-|| Slow down again. Another easy riff follows. This is also the riff that's played in the verses. Riff C (Play 8 times, Bobby's humming enters 3rd time): |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3-|0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3-|| (1st verse) I'm your destructive pride I'm your homegrown, goddamn genocide The standard behind which you hide I'm at your door, right by your side, so... Then speed up again for the following part (there might be some mistakes in the timing, but when you listen to the song, I'm sure you will figure out how to play it right): Riff D (Play twice): |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |3003003003003---|300300300-6-5-3-|| (Pre-Chorus) Go - high Go - higher Go - high Go - higher Then slow down, play Riff C 8 times again, speed up and play Riff D 4 times (2nd verse) I'm the hate, the jealousy I can magnify the agony The self-destructive qualities So won't you come and go with me, and... (Pre-Chorus) Go - high Go - higher Go - high Go - higher Go - high Go - higher Go - high Go - higher Then play Riff A twice (at the pace of Riff B!) and then the first 4 measures of Riff B twice (Chorus) A lack of tolerance, nice as you please My interference put them down on their knees I am your hopeless, despondent, your derelict hole I am your genocide, the mass inflicted cyanide I am your illness, your ailment, the hole in your soul I am your genocide, the mass inflicted cyanide Then slow down and play the following riff: Riff E (Play twice): |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|5---------------|----------------|----------------| |0---------------|----------------|3---------------|5---------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|5---------------|----------------|----------------|| |0---------------|----------------|1---------------|3---------------|| Then there is some space for Bobby's humming again. Play this underneath it: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |0---------------|3---------------|2---------------|1---------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |0---------------|3---------------|2-------------2-|1---------------|| Then play Riff A 4 times, Play the Chorus (speed up, Riff A twice, first 4 measures of Riff B twice), then repeat Riff D 4 times: (Chorus) A lack of tolerance, nice as you please My interference put them down on their knees I am your hopeless, despondent, your derelict hole I am your genocide, the mass inflicted cyanide I am your illness, your ailment, the hole in your soul I am your genocide, the mass inflicted cyanide (Pre-Chorus) Go - high Go - higher Go - high Go - higher Go - high Go - higher Go - high Go - higher The song ends like this: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |0---0-0-3---0-0-|--0---0-2-0-3---|0---0-0-3---0-0-|--0---0-2-0-3---| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |0---0-0-3---0-0-|--0---0-2-0-3---|0---0-0-3---0-0-|----6---5---6---|0---------------|| GO!
