Primal Concrete Sledge

Words & Music:

Vincent Abbott, Darrell Abbott,

Phillip Anselmo & Rex Brown (Pantera)

 

Guitars are in drop D tuning (D A D G B E).  This is fully transcribed in Guitar World.

 

D5

There's a double standard for the way we live.

If there's nothing to have; well, then there's nothing to give.

I'll break a sweat and I don't regret.

What you'd kill to see brings out the god in me.

 

CHORUS:

D5  C5   Ab5 F5 Gb5  Eb5

    Come and be with me.

D5  A5   Ab5  F5   G5 Eb5

    Live my-- twisted dream.

D5  G5  Ab5 F5  Gb5  Eb5

    Pro de--vot-ed-- pledge.

D5  A5   Ab5 G5  Gb5  F5  E5   Eb5

    Time for primal-- concrete sledge

 

The man of a thousand retirements

Will always be the one to tell you when to quit

I won't take stock in a withered man

I'm reaching into you, I'll make you understand

 

CHORUS:  [2x]
