(A) (Em)

She has no pain... like a child she's pure, she is not to blame.

Chorus:

(high E) |----------------0-2|-------------------0-2-3|

Poised for flight Wings spread bright

Am Bm (Bm?) Em

         |-------------------|------------------------|
                             |------------------------|
                             |------------------------|

Spring from night into the sun.

Verse: (similar patterns)

Don't stop to run. She can fly like a lie she can't be out done.

Tell me the cost. I can pay, let me go(?), tell me love is not lost.

Sell everything. Without love in the dream, insanities king(?).

Chorus:

Em F#m Em F#m Am Bm (Bm?) Em

I will pay, Day by day, anyway, lock bolt and key.

Verse:

Crippled but free, I was blind all the time, I was learning to see.

Cool Jam (I think it follows the verse pretty close)

Help on the Way. Well I know all of this, I got ya today.

Don't fly away. Cause I love what I love and I want it that way.

Chorus:

Em F#m Em F#m Am Bm (Bm?) Em

I will stay, one more day, like I say, honey it's you.

Verse:

Makin it too, Without love in the dream, it'll never come true.

Then it starts Slipknot about here...

THE REAL SLIPKNOT: IS IN THE KEY OF Fm

It's a little harder for beginners I think...

requires a certain technique with pinky finger, arpeggios and minor pentatonic visulization

on the fretboard, however with this you already have all the Slipknot song :D

and we'll separate in

Fm triad, Cm triad, Gm triad, Dm triad;

C diminished scale, D diminished scale;

minor 7 arpeggios (R, flat 3, 5, flat 7)

AND THE RIFF IS A MINOR PENTATONIC

LIKE THIS:

Starts with Fm chord in Am shape (8º fret) down up down up

then go to the riff:

 e|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
 B|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
 G|--------5------------------------------------------------------------|
 D|------6---8p6-5--------------5---------------------------------------| (x4)
 A|---\8----------------------6------8----------------------------------|
 E|-------------------------8-------------------------------------------|

^ ^

F minor triad C minor triad

(F Ab C)

Then very quickly we'll go to the C diminished scale

(as you may know diminished scales are built off minor third intervals)

 e|--------------------------8-------------------------------------------------|
 B|-------------------7--10-----10-7-----10--7--------7------------------------|
 G|--------5--------8-----------------8--------8---------8---------------------|
 D|------6----8//10-------------------------------10--------10--7-8------------|
 A|---/8-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
 E|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|

C note*

Moved riff a whole step up

 e|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 B|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
 G|--------7------------7------------------------------------------------------------|
 D|------8---10-8-----8---10--8--------7---------------------------------------------|
 A|---\10-----------10--------------8-----10.----------------------------------------|
 E|------------------------------10--------------------------------------------------|

^ ^

G minor triad D minor triad

Then you move again a whole step up that same shape of C diminished scale leading to

D diminished scale!!!

 e|--------------10----------------------------------------|
 B|--------------------------------------------------------|
 G|--------9--12-------------------------------------------|
 D|------10------------------------------------------------|
 A|---\12--------------------------------------------------|
 E|--------------------------------------------------------|

Then from there sliding to:

Em arpeggio Bm7 arpeggio F# minor 7

 e|------12/---------------17--14----------------------------------|
 B|------12-----------------------15--------17--14-----------------|
 G|------12--------------------------16------------14--------------|
 D|---14-----------------------------------------------16----------|
 A|----------------------------------------------------------------|
 E|----------------------------------------------------------------|

Play those same shapes one full step down

Am7 starting on G (e high 15 fret) // Em7
