lnpost@get2net.dk
Tune all guitars 1/2 step down
It's a kind of hard song to play with all the solo's, but this is how it's played on the album
It's hard to tab, just listen to the song and then you'll find out.

Feel free to mail me with questions.
==============================================
I downloaded this tablature from Harmony Central Page, but it was full of
mistakes, so I had to remake it. Btw. solos are still not managed, I know
how to play them, but I was lazy to correct it... But if you'll send me
a mail I'll write it for you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry Travis, I had to remake it a little bit...
* before the tab means I have changed it...
Solos are totally bad, if you want I'll write it for you...
BIG THANKS for the lyrics, I was unable to hear it..., his pronounciation is
really terrible...

Verse
The verse is divided into three different parts. It is the same basic riff
just a little different on the endings. Kirk plays his riff along with
Jaymz' three diffenent riffs.
I'll put all the different parts together at the end.

!!!!! - 7brp5 is not very clear, I have to explain it..., btw it's Metallica's
widely used technique
Play the 7th fret, bend it full step, then release it, and then pull off to
5th fret, everything on one strum...
(To make that pull-off means you must have your finger prepared on the 5th fret!)

Fortune......................but the memory remains
This fill is played after the chorus and before Jaymz starts in on the
second verse. Riff 1 is played under this fill. Try playing this fill
through the neck pickup. Sounds almost exactly like the CD.

"Dance little tin goddess"
The "Da, da, da" part has about four guitars playing under it,
so I'm gonna try and tab them the best I can.
Haven't figured out the high screechy part yet.
This is rhythm part under the "Aye, da, da, da" part.

These next two parts are played together with the "Da, da, da" part.
It's exactly the same as what she sings.

Fortune fame, mirror vane, gone insane, but the memory remains
Heavy rings on fingers wave
Another star denies the grave
See the nowhere crowd cry the nowhere tears of honor
Like the twisted vines that grow
That hide and swallow mansions whole
And dim the light of an already faded prima donna
chorus
Heavy rings on cigarettes
Up to lips that time forgets
While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back
And can't the band play on?
Just listen, they play my song
Ash to ash
Dust to dust
Fade to black
chorus
Dance little tin goddess
da, da, da.....
