This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

(On the 7th time, the lyrics come in:)

“My mother was a witch,

She was burned alive,

Thankless little bitch,

For the tears I cried,

Take her down now,

Don’t want to see her face,

Blistered & Burnt,

Can’t hide my disgrace.”

[Pre-Chorus] (x4)

“Twenty-seven, everyone was niiiice,

Gotta see ‘em, make ‘em pay the priiiice,

See their bodies out on the iiiiice,

Take my time.”

“Am I evil?

Yes I am,

Am I evil?

I am man, Yes I am.”

[Verse] (x10)

“As I watched my mother die,

I, lost my head,

Revenge now I sought,

To break with my bread,

Taking no chances,

You come with me,

I’ll split you to the bone,

Help set you freeee.”

[Pre-chorus] (x4)

“Twenty-seven, everyone was niiiice,

Gotta see ‘em, make ‘em pay the priiiice,

See their bodies out on the iiiiice,

Take my time.”

[Chorus] (x4)

“Am I evil?

Yes I am,

Am I evil?

I am man, Yes I am.”

Solo

The 1st one is the right way to play it but it is also the hardest. For right-handed (vise-versa for leftys!),

this is the technique you should use unless you have freakishly hands or long fingers:

You must use your left hand to finger-tap the 5th & 8th frets for the 1st line

(same for 9th & 6th & then 10th & 7th frets in the next few lines).

Then use your right hand to finger-tap the 12th fret (same goes for 13th & 14th in the few lines).

This may cause you to drop your pick so it’s recommended that you use any finger asides

your index & your thumb & your baby finger (unless you have a freakishly strong baby finger).
