Artist: OverKill Song: Necroshine Album: Necroshine Transcribed by Kevin 'Agonymph' Pasman Tuning: DGCF (1 step down) This is another really easy tune to play. When I heard this one on the 'Wrecking Everything'-CD, I grabbed my bass and played most of along good right away. This song is also mid-tempo and ultra heavy, enjoy! The song starts of with some guitar effects and some nice percussion work. Every once in a while this part follows: Intro: F|----------------|| C|----------------|| G|----------------|| D|0--0---0--0--0--|| Please listen to the song for details of how many times you should play it. After the intro is over and the actual song starts, this part comes: Riff A (Play 6 times): |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|| | |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |7-----6-----5---|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|7-----6-----5-0-|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|| The bar above is the bass part, but I always like to play along the guitar part (which starts at the 5th time) on my bass, so I decided to transcribe that part for bass too (the below bar). After playing Riff A 6 times, the bass actually keeps playing the D-note and the guitar goes like this (the bass plays the last 4 measures just the same!): Fill 1: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |7-----6-----5---|----------------|7-----6-----5---|----------------| |----------------|7-----6-----5---|----------------|7-----6-----5---| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |7-----6-----5---|----------------|----------------|------------7---| |----------------|7-----6-----5---|0-----2-----3---|5-----6---------| |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |565656567-------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| This was actually the intro to the song, the intro is followed by this: Riff B (Play 2 times): |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |0-0---0-1-0---0-|0-0---0-1-0---0-|0-0---0-1-0---0-|0-0---0-5---6---| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |0-0---0-1-0---0-|0-0---0-1-0---0-|0-0---0-1-0---0-|1-0-0-1-0-0-1-0-|| When the verse starts, the first four measures are just for guitar (Joe Comeau's on 'Necroshine', Derek Tailer's on 'Wrecking Everything') and Bobby's vocals. After that the below riff is played and Riff B is played once. Repeat that sequence and the verse is done. Riff C: |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |0---0---0-1---0-|--1---0-1-0-1---|| (1st verse) You can take me out of my hell You can't take my hell on out of me Watch me here as I gel But be carefull what you see Since the Chorus is the same as the first part of the Pre-Chorus played twice, I decided to cut this riff in half. Riff D1: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |0---2-3-0-2-3-0-|----2-3-0-2-3-0-|----2-3-0-2-3-0-|--2-3-0-2-3-5---|| (Pre-Chorus) I cut across the waves Some live and some enshrined Riff D2: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |0---2-3-0-2-3-0-|----2-3-0-2-3-0-|----2-3-0-2-3---|0---------------|| I look into the light Of the Necroshine For the Chorus, play Riff D1 twice. (1st Chorus) Don't you worry about me You know I'm doing fine Basking in the light Of the Necroshine Then play Riff B 2 times (if you use this tab as a guitarist, notice that the first 2 measures are only for the bass this time!), then repeat the verse sequence (4 guitar/vocal-measures, then Riff C, then Riff B and repeat the sequence) for the second verse. What follows is also just the same as the previous verse; Riff D1, Riff D2 and twice Riff D1. (2nd verse) In the name of all that's sacred In the name of misery Watch me here as I turn red And remember what you see (Pre-Chorus) I hunger for the taste To fill my glass with wine Away from the right Into the Necroshine (2nd Chorus) Don't you ever doubt me As you walk the line Guided by the light Of the Necroshine Then there is a short interlude which is very similar to Riff A. Fill 2: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|7-----6-----5---|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |0---------------|----------------|7-----6-----5---|0---------------|0---------------|| Then there is a short guitar break, to which bass, drums and the second guitar are added to every chord. Fill 3: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|--------0-0-0-0-| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|--------0-0-0-0-|--0-0-0-0-0-0---|| As long as you're using orientation points to remember where you are, this is where Derek yells "Fuck you!" on 'Wrecking Everyithing'. The riff that follows is exactly the same melody as the guitar break, just this time with every instrument. Riff E (Play 4 times, vocals enter 3rd time): |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |0-3---0-3---0-3-|--0-3-----------|0-3---0-3---0-3-|--0-3---0-0-0-0-|| (Bridge) I think that I have been reborn Just a little better than before I think I tried to tell myself That I needed just a little more Between every "verse" of the bridge, there is an interlude-type of riff, it goes like this: Riff F (Play 2 times): |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----7-----------|----------------|----7-----------|----------------|| |0-0-----6---0-5-|--0-0-0-0-0-0-0-|0-0-----6---0-5-|--0-0-0-0-0-3---|| Then Riff E is played 2 times, then Riff F 2 times, then play Riff E 4 times to finish the bridge (Bridge) They always tried to sell me Hang me what I couldn't use Always tried to get a little better With an offer that I can't refuse You can take me full of fire You can take me as you find Or you can leave me here Where you gonna see me Guided by the Necroshine Necroshine Necroshine Necroshine What follows before we return to Riff B is another short fill underneath the guitar playing riff B: Fill 4: |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |0---------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------| |----------------|--------5---6---|----------------|----------------| |----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|----------------|| |----------------|1-0-0-1-0-0-1-0-|1-0-0-1-0-0-1-0-|| Then Riff B is played twice and the song is finished with this part: |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |----------------|----------------|| |0---0---0---0---|0---------------|| (Chorus) Don't you worry about me You know I'm doing fine Basking in the light Of the Necroshine Don't you ever doubt me As you walk the line Guided by the light Guided by the light Of the Necroshine
