Here is a classic Venom track off their debut album - the title track in
fact.
Enjoy, and let me know if you want to see anymore Venom tabbed.
Welcome to Hell - by Venom
Originally recorded on the album Welcome to Hell (1981 Neat Records)
Words and music by Conrad Lant and Jeff Dunn
Tune down guitars three half-steps (to C#)
Note - letters above staff are time vales for notes underneath. Lyrics
are below staff.
I would notate palm-muting, but due to the quality of the recording
(playing) it is hard to tell. May your ears be your guide.
Rhythm in 4/4
Intro - Riff 1 (guitar and drums only first time)

Lyrics for verse 2&3
V2
Kill we will kill death
Masturbating on the deeds we have done
Blah Blah Blah Death Kill
Something something feel the death of his son
Interlude
Cronos sings something I can't understand with an
overdub of a woman reciting Psalm 23
Die we won't die here
something difference is but you'll never know
Martyrs blah blah blah
don't know this line either
Sorry about the lyrics, maybe another Venom fan can help.
I am . . .
