Song: Antichrist Superstar 
Album: Antichrist Superstar 
Artist: Marilyn Manson
Tabbed by: Abigail Williams

This is my first attempt at tabbing anything so watch out for errors. This
file looks best in courier or mslinedraw.

First off, this song (and most of the others on the album) is in dropped D
tuning. The bass line follows what the guitar plays throughout the song. I'm
not tabbing rythym so listen to the song and figure it out.

Now, to try and make sense of all this

play the intro (try and get whoever is listening to you to do the 	"hail" part)
play the second intro
then the verse and sing:
	You built me up with your wishing hell
	I didn't have to sell you
	You threw your money in the pissing well
	You do just what they tell you
play the prechorus: 
	Repent, that's what i'm talking about
	I shed the skin to feed the fake
	Repent, that's what i'm talking about
	Whose mistake am I anyway?
Chorus:
	Cut the head off
	Grows back hard
	I am the Hydra
	Now you'll see your star
solo (just make a bunch of feedback, if you've got a floyd rose, or any
floating tremolo really, you can get it to sound perfect)
Verse:
	Prick your finger it is done
	The moon has now eclipsed the sun
	The angel has spread it's wings
	The time has come for bitter things
Prechorus and chorus
Intro:
	The time has come, it is quite clear
	Our Antichrist is almost here...
					It is done
Chorus (there's another solo in here, but it sounds like it's just a 
	sampled loop of a couple of guitar feeding back, you can mimic it 	by
sticking your guitar's pickups in front of your speaker and 	going crazy
with the toggle switch, it helps if you have a wah-	pedal although it does
change the tone of the feedback)
Intro

there you have it, it's a pretty simple song when you get the hang of it.
I'm going to tab Irresponsible Hate Anthem when I have the time and i'm
working on Beautiful People, Angel With The Scabbed Wings, and 1996. If
anyone has any requests E-mail me.

*OR*  This riff above is really heard in the background while another
guitar picks a chord once and then uses the trembar and feedback to hold
and bend the pitch until the next verse starts.  If you choose to play
the feedback it does not matter much which chord you use but on my
guitar it sounds best with a high A#-chord:

e|--------
B|-15-----       let ring(feedback!)and at the 	
G|-15-----       end silde down to fret 3
D|-15-----		
A|--------
E|--------
