Band: Type O Negative Album: Life Is Killing Me Song: Life Is Killing Me Tuning: B E A D F# B Notes + Intro - You can also use the A string to play the slide notes which would require less finger movement. I just prefer the way I tabbed it. + Verse 1 and the quiet part before it are played by a synth. I toggle to the neck position and turn my tone knob to zero on the guitar and play softly. + Verse endings: I’m not 100% sure on these. Please comment if you have a better way of playing them. + Chorus is bass and keys driven. I put the bass notes so you can play power chords if you want, but I also put the 'real' guitar part first - which are the lead lines. + Verse 3 Variation is pretty close. It is really hard to tell the difference between keys and guitar in many parts. ================================================================================== +Intro Rhythm x2 B |-----------------------|----------------------| F#|-----------------------|----------------------| D |-------------2-2-4-5---|----------------------| A |-------------2-2-4-5---|-------------9-9------| E |--4-4-4/7/9b-0-0-2-3---|--4-4-4/7/9b-7-7-9-7--| B |--2-2------------------|--2-2------------7-5--| B |-------------------------------------------| F#|-------------------------------------------| D |-------------------------------------------| A |-------------2-2-4-5-----------------------| E |--4-4-4/7/b9-0-0-2-3---------2--3--4--7----| B |--2-2-----------------2~--5~---------------| Lead (keys arranged for guitar.
