I'll end my transcription here since the remainder of the song is

Jonathan Davis crying and adlib guitar. If anyone wants me to transcribe

that part too, email me (jalbers@ucsd.edu). As for the rest of the song,

the riffs are easy and could be played on a guitar tuned ADGCea. Also, I

have received mail stating that Korn tunes to ADADGbe, not ADGCFad. That is

what Guitar School has determined how they play, and it is not necessarily

correct. In the Blind video it is apparent that at least Munky (Gtr1) plays

his 7strings tuned ADGCFAD (fingering position is the same in my transcription

of Blind). Either way is correct for transcriptions, but the video suggest

they play (all strings) a whole step down, not ADADGbe.

The lyrics are again transcribed by me with the help of another guy

(sorry-forgot your name/address, but thanks anyway) and are written the

exact order he says them in. The very last part during the crying is

transcribed by me and is what I hear.

Daddy-Korn

Mother, please forgive me-I just have to get out all my pain and suffering

Now that I'm undone remember that I'll always love you-I'm your son

Little Child, looking so pretty

Come out and play-I'll be your daddy

Innocent child, looking so sweet

A rape in my eyes and of your flesh I'll eat

You raped-I'm your daddy-it hurt as a child

Tied down-that's a good boy-and fucked your own child

I screamed-no one hears me-it hurt-not alive

My God-saw you watching-mommy why-your own child

Little Child, looking so pretty

Come out and play-I'll be your daddy

You raped-I'm your daddy-it hurt as a child

Tied down-that's a good boy-and fucked your own child

I screamed-no one hears me-it hurt-not alive

My God saw you watching-mommy why

It's alright

Raped-I'm your daddy-it hurt as a child

Tied down-that's a good boy-and fucked your own child

I'm raped-no one hears me-it hurt as a child

Tied down-no one hears me-it hurt your own child

I said-no one hears me-it hurt-as a child

Tied down-that's a good boy-and fucked your own child

I screamed-no one hears me-it hurt as a child

Tied down-no one hears me mommy why your own child

I didn't touch you there, mommy said she didn't care

I didn't touch you there, that's why mommy stopped and stared

Little Child, looking so sweet

A rape in my eyes and of your flesh I'll eat

You raped-I'm your daddy-it hurt as a child

Tied down-that's a good boy-and fucked your own child

I screamed-no one hears me-it hurt-not alive

My God-saw you watching-mommy why-your own child

You raped-I'm your daddy-it hurt-not alive

My God saw you watching-daddy why your own child

I screamed-no one hears me-it hurt-not alive

My God-saw you watching-mommy why-your own child

You raped-I'm your daddy-it hurt not alive

My God-saw you watching-mommy why-your own child

I screamed-no one hears me-it hurt-not alive

My God-saw you watching-mommy why

...I fuckin' hate you...you fuckin' motherfucker...

...I fuckin' hate you...fuck you...you son of a bitch...

...You fuckin' ruined my life...it wasn't dad...I'll see you motherfucker...

...fuckin' daddy...I hate you...I fuckin' hate you...I hate you...

...Piece of shit...I...ughhh...

When I awake I'll see your face when I awake I'll see your light

When I awake I'll see your face when I awake I'll see your light

Mother wake me from my dream, mother wake me in my light

And then you will have had never seen me again...
