The Philosopher
by Death
You will have to excuse me if this tab isn't up to par. It is actually my first ever.
But it is a *** good song and needs to be played. If you come across this tab you must of heard Death before.
So be a good person and spread the word about this band. The greatest Death Metal band in history.
LONG LIVE Chuck Schuldiner and may he rest in peace.
