Tom: D ----- --7-- --7-- or something like that, just turn up the tremolo knob on your amp ;) ----- --5-- ----- Bleed in your own light dream of your own life I miss me I miss everything right before the chorus play these two chords (or something similar): everything... I'll never be G D F C G D F C and on and on... G D F C I torch my soul to show the world that I am pure deep inside my G D F C heart....heart no lie...(??) the lead line over the chorus is as follows: now here's the beginning of that interesting octave pedal work. This part does not use a slide, but make the B string bends very fast. Repeat this entire line 2x with the main riff underneath. with octave pedal Now under the 2nd verse, along with the main riff, play this part. Turn the direct volume all the way down and turn Octave & Octave 2 all the way up, and break out the slide. If you don't have an octave pedal or a slide, play the bottom notes in the brackets -- that's the equivalent, only not synth. Another way to play it is to do bends, which is tough, but effective. A crown of thorns, an image formed, deformed The mark I've borne, a mark of scorn.. to you Now play these chords over the lyrics with the following lead: C G Consume my love devour my hate only powers my escape C D The moon is out the stars invite I think I'll leave tonite use slow bends: fast bends: D A C G vib Soon I find myself alone D A C G To relax and fade away D A C G Do you know what's coming down D A C Do you know I couldn't stay.. G D F C free? G D F C I shall be free G D F C I shall be free I shall be free I shall be G D F C free free freed of those voices inside me break and play this super fuzzed-out riff twice alone, and repeat it through the end of the song before the climbing G chord: vib vib Go into the "I shall be free" chorus and repeat 6x, slowing on the last two times. Also play the octave-bending riff, plus this one right before the climb: f.h. slow 16th note strumming, neat progression:
