SONG: FIVE MAGICS
ARTIST:MEGADETH
ALBUM: RUST IN PEACE

tabbed by gareth richards, jackslackofsurprise@hotmail.com

I write bass for five string generally cos that's what i play but where the 
song doesn't need that extra low end phatness i'll tab for a four string 
bass.

i have the time changes and counts/accents that go with them to help. the 
only symbols used are |----%----| for "repeat the bar", > for accented beats 
and ^ for hammer ons.

enjoy.

No Picture Tyler Average	#1 by Tyler Ruli at Oct 1, 1977 at 8:50 PM EST
	this song is about a book called master of the five magics wich the song pretty much explains the story

No Picture M4rk Lead Player	#2 by M4rk at Aug 4, 1991 at 11:46 PM EST
	probably about dave's experiences when he's high on his drugs. the intro harmony/solo captures the wierdness well. the ending is cool too.
