The Idol W.A.S.P.
The Idol: WASP
This is a great song, the acoustic version is hot and so is the live version on double live assassins.
The other version on here says stick a capo on the first fretā?¦ personally I prefer the tab below.
This is a great to play in band; I just go off on it.
Intro Riff:
[Em] [C] [D]

*This part is played on two guitars, guitar one does the fiddly picking pick, while guitar two plays the low part*
Lyrics for second part of intro:
Will I be alone this morning? Will I need my friends?
Something just to ease away the pain
No one ever sees the loneliness behind my face
I am just a prisoner to my fame
Verse 1: *play Em in the open position*
[Em]If I could only stand and stare [Dsus2]in the mirror would I see
[Am]One fallen h[Dsus2]ero with a face l[Em]ike me?
[Em]And if I scream, could anybody h[Dsus2]ear me?
[Am]If I smash the sile[Dsus2]nce you'll see what fame has do[Em]ne to me
Pre chorus:
[C5]Kiss away the pain[D5] and leave me lo[E5]nely
I'll never know if loves a lie... oh beingā?¦
Crazy in paradise is easy
[C5]Do you see the p[D5]risoners in my e[C5]yes?[Am]
Chorus:
[Em]Where's the love, to she[D5]lter me
[C5]Give me love, love sets [D5]me free
*Play the above twice.. then*
[Am]Set me free
Solo:
This is what guitar two plays during the solo, guitar one plays a lead using the E minor pentatonic.. so just mess around with it until you find something you like.
[E] [D] [Am] [G] [Em]
