DOMINATION - Pantera

(from the album 'COWBOYS FROM HELL')

Special note - I have NOT put in the Palm Muting used on this track. Also in
riff 9(A#m), the symbol '/' means slide the chord up. All the riffs are in [4/4]
except where the time signature is shown in brackets after the number, pay
special attention to number 2(Cm), where the signature changes within the riff.
All of the 'COUNTS' are only rough!!!!!!

Special note no.2 - If it is a bit difficult to get the chords in the riffs no.
1(Am) - 1(Cm), try playing only the root note of the chord (the bottom note).

REPEAT FROM VERSE 1
Lyrics for verse 2:
A now blacked heart is reaching out in divinity.
Body suspended by chains over razors and nails, it's a penalty.
Each razor a vice and each nail marks demise of your life.
Grim construction grows.
Life plays its tricks seals you in brick by brick till your end
forcing you to bend.

Bend up A5 chord at end of riff 2(Cm).
