 "Dance little tin goddess"


 The "Da, da, da" part has about four guitars playing under it, so I'm gonna try and tab them the best I can.


 Haven't figured out the high screechy part yet.


 This is rhythm part under the "Aye, da, da, da" part.

 These next two parts are played together with the "Da, da, da" part. It's exactly the same as what she sings.

 #This fill is played after the chorus and before Jaymz starts in on the second verse. Riff 1 is played under this fill. Try playing this fill through the neck pickup. Sounds almost exactly like the CD.

 {eot}
 Fortune fame, mirror vane, gone insane, but the memory remains
 Heavy rings on fingers wave
 Another star denies the grave
 See the nowhere crowd cry the nowhere tears of honor
 Like the twisted vines that grow
 That hide and swallow mansions whole
 And dim the light of an already faded prima donna
 chorus
 Heavy rings on cigarettes
 Up tp lips that time forgets
 While the Hollywood sun sets behind your back
 And can't the band play on?
 Just listen, they play my song
 Ash to ash
 Dust to dust
 Fade to black
 chorus
 Dance little tin goddess
 da, da, da.....
