	        Skull Beneath The SKin : megadeth : killing is my business... 
 
I don't know the lead guitar intro.  When the band comes 
in,  hold this chord and strike at random ( listen to the recording ) 
 
 
G)---9---- 
D)---9---- 
A)---7---- 
E)---0---- 
 
                       then this is the part where Dave starts the scream: 
 
D)-------------------------------------------------------------- 
A)---7-----------------------5--7-------------------------8--7-- 
E)-------5--6--7--8---5--7------------5--6--7--8---5--7--------- 
 
                                repeat several times.  The last time, hold 
the E5 chord again. 
this is where it speeds up: 
 
D)-------------4--------5----------------------------4-------------- 
A)-------------2--------3----------5-----------------2-----------3-- 
E)---0--0----------0--------0--0---3----0--0--0-----------0--0---1-- 
 
 
                               repeat that several times.  then play: 
 
G)---9-------------9--------------------- 
D)---9-------------9--------------------- 
A)---7---7--7--7---7--------------------- 
E)------------------------0--0--0--0----- 
 
                              the last time, finish with:

E)----------1----- 
 
                          verse rhythm:

E)---0--0--0--------0--0--0-------0--0--0-------0--0--0---------- 
 
                              then repeat the verse rhythm with the 2nd 
verse.  After that, play:
