Take No Prisoners by Megadeth
TAB`d out by Frank A. Taylor - mork@oceana.sdsc.edu

I`ve seen a few requests for this so I thought I would TAB it for you lucky,
lucky people :) If ya see any mistakes or stuff then please let me know so I
can fix it! Or please drop me a line to say if the TAB was helpful - makes me
feel that my time typing it out was worthwhile! I have a lot of TAB that I can

You can use the basic two note power chords you just played to do the rhythm
for this part. This is what I play :)

Got one chance
E|--------------------------------------------
B|--------------------------------------------
G|--------------------------------------------
D|-------------------------0-------------5----
A|--4------5------4--------0------4------3----
E|--2------3------2---------------2-----------

And so on...

F#5 G5 F#5 D5 F#5 C5
Got one chance.

F#5 G5 F#5 D5 F#5 C5
(In - fil - trate them!)

F#5 G5 F#5 D5 F#5 C5
Get it right.

F#5 G5 F#5 D5 F#5 C5
(Ter - mi - nate them!) The

F#5 G5 F#5 D5 F#5 C5
Pan - zers will...

F#5 G5 F#5 D5 F#5 C5
(Per - me - ate them!)

F#5 G5 F#5 D5 F#5 C5
Break their pride.

F#5 G5 F#5 D5 F#5 C5
(Den - i - grate them!)

The chords then slightly change for four bars, you can use the same idea
with the chords as before. Here are the extra chords used for this bit.

G#5 B
|---------------|
|---------------|
|---------------|
|---------4-----|
|--6------2-----|
|--4------------|

A bit tricky to reach the G#5 from the B,so what I do is....

E|--------------------------------
B|--------------------------------
G|--------------------------------
D|-------------------4-------0----
A|--6--X--X--4--6----2-------0----
E|--4--X--X--2--4--------4--------

The exact rhythm for the G#5 and F#5 change is hard to hear but you can do
what you think sounds right :)

G#5 F#5 G#5 B5 G#5 D5
And their peo - ple.

G#5 F#5 G#5 B5 G#5 D5
(Ret - ro - grade them!)

G#5 F#5 G#5 B5 G#5 D5
Ty - phus, (De -

G#5 F#5 G#5 B5 G#5 D5
ter - io - ate them!)


Then back to the other chords.

F#5 G5 F#5 D5 F#5 C5
Ep - i - dem - ic.

F#5 G5 F#5 D5 F#5 C5
(Dev - as - tate them!) Take no

F#5 G5 F#5 D5 F#5 C5
pris - on - ers.

F#5 G5 F#5 D5 F#5 C5
(Cre - mate them!)

TAB help

h - Hammer on
p - Pull off
> - Bend. The number following the > is an indication of hoo far to bend the
string. So, 17 > 19 would mean to bend the 17th fret until the note sounds
like the note normally played on 19th fret...that is one whole tone. If I
have 16 > 17 > 16 > 17 or something similar - you bend 16th fret one half
tone and then back to 16th and then again to 17th etc....
~ - Vibrato. Shake the string gently!
X - Percussive tone with no pitch. You can dampen the strings with your left
or right hand and when you pick a note or strum a chord...No notes are
heard but you can hear the percussive sound...Hey! Just in case you didn`t
know :)
/ - Slide up. Slide from one fret to another. If no fret is given before the /
then slide up from an indefinite point to that fret. Equally if no fret is
given after the / then slide off the fretboard.
\ - Slide down. Same as slide up but....wait for it! You slide..DOWN! :-)
P.M. - Palm Mute. Muting the strings with the palm of your pick hand.

Okay I`ve explained more than you need to know! If you don`t know what a pick
slide is or a rake then my guess is that you wouldn`t be able to play this song
anyways *whee*
