Title: Halo of Flies
By: Alice Cooper
Found on: Killer
Tabbed by: Trevor Senter, with input from Brian Gaddis
This tab is complete, except for a single part where I
don't even know what's going on with the guitar.
This tab includes transcriptions for two guitars, when
I can tell them apart. When I think they are both
playing the same thing, I just transcribe that part. If
a guitar part comes in, and I don't know which guitar
is playing it, I just write 'other guitar.' This is the
first complete guitar tab I have submitted anywhere, and
it is about 98% accurate. Any corrections or additions
can be sent to Lmpygrvy40@aol.com
h= hammer-on
p= pull-off
/= slide up
\= slide down
.= palm mute
b= bend to...
r= release bend to...
~= use vibrato
x= dead strumming? (not sure what it's called)

Enjoy!                      _

 Play again to the lyrics:
 I've got the answers to all of your questions, if you've got the money to
 pay me in gold.
 I will be living in old Monte Carlo if you will be reading the
 secrets I've sold.

 More lyrics:
 Daggers and contacts and bright shiny limos. I've got a watch that turns
 into a lifeboat.
 Glimmering nightgowns, poisonous as cobras. Silencer under the

 The elegance of China, they sent her to lie him on her back
 But as she deeply moves me, she'd rather shoot me in my tracks!

 Inaudible guitar, just screw around with the power chords used so far.
 And What? A middle-asian lady. She really came as no surprise.
 But I still did destroy her. And I will smash halo of FLIES!

Lyrics for previous guitar part:
 I crossed the ocean where no one could see
 And I put a time bomb in your submarine
 Goodbye to old friends, those secrets in hand
 With full need of paper and kind tuffy plans (?!?)
 You never will understand
