two versions
** Mandatory Suicide
** by Slayer
** Off the album "South of Heaven"
** Transcribed (sort of!) by Kevin Phillips, New Zealand

Being new to the 'Net, I was pleasantly surprised to find a source of TAB
available on Ftp!! I just couldn't resist the temptation to contribute to the
TAB files collection! Keep up the good work out there, Axe-dudes & dudettes!

P.S. I transcribed this Fav' Slayer piece a LONG time ago.. When I was
still learning the G'tar so apologise for the shitty format and any mistakes,
boo-boos, etc..
