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

There you go! Most of it should be right, but, considering White

Zombie's high distortion and the fact that I don't have a guitar with me

while I tabbed this, there might be a couple mistakes (most probably the

interlude, if anything).

Send anything you feel like to gessle@hotmail.com

Till next time!!

Spotted a wrong chord, or know a capo position that sounds closer to the record?
