We have an official World Painted Blood tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
Song: World Painted Blood
Album: World Painted Blood (2009)
Artist: Slayer
 
This is my first tab, and I'm pretty sure this is accurate, but please be nice. I played
a few times it it sounds quite right.
 
Tuning is NOT drop D its half step down on all strings
 
This is the WHOLE song,not divided into riffs. It is supposed to be played in this order
the lyrics are indicated under the tab where necessary
 
Intro:(I'm not sure how many times you repeat it, about eight should do)

I don't know why it says drop D. Everyone knows that World Painted Blood is in half step down tuning. I just saw a request for these tabs so I clicked submit right next to it. In the place where I was supposed to write it, it said drop D and didn't let me change it haha
