Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: This was requested because there wasn't a good version
available. I haven't seen the other versions bu this is the real
deal. Gene plays simple stuff during the non-vocal parts and then
throws in a rhythmic counterpoint during the verses. It's straight-
forward, in the pocket, and simple. All in all it provides a good
base of the guitar work.
Key:
/ = slide up
\ = slide down
b = bend (whole step)
b^ = bend (1/2 step)
b^^ = bend (1 1/2 steps)
pb = pre-bend
r = release-bend
t = tap with righthand finger
h = hammer-on
p = pull-off
~ = Vibrato

** = Artificial Harmonic
x = Dead notes (no pitch)
P.M. = Palm mute (- -> underneath indicates which notes)
(\) = Dive w\bar

Hear my words and take heed

I was born on Olympus
To my father a son
I was raised by the demons
Trained to reign as the one

God of thunder and rock and roll
The spell you're under
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul

I'm the lord of the wastelands
A modern day man of steel
I gather darkness to please me
And I command you to kneel
Before the
