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

Subject: TAB: "Dead Guy" by Ministry

Dead Guy by Ministry

from the album "Filth Pig"

words and music by Al Jourgensen and Paul Barker

tabbed by Tom Mallon

Note: Anything I've read about this album so far says that the whole thing is

done with guitars tuned down to D. However, this song appears to be in

standard. It might be a little easier to play in Dropped-D, so you can drop

it if you want, it'll sound the same. I don't think all the guitars on the

album are tuned to D, because I've also figured out "Lava" and that's in

Eb.

Intro Riff (Also used after "I'm/you're the dead guy!")

A harmonic at the 4th fret is played in the background here and in a few other

places in the song.

Wah Riff (:49),(2:11) (Tremolo pick all these. Listen to the

album for the timing. These are not spaced correctly, but close

together for space's sake. They are in actuality way far apart.)

Outro Wah Riff (Same deal. For the rhythm, just use the F#5-E5-F#5 part

from Main Riff.)
