okay, fairly simple song:  two progressions and three rythm patterns.
listen to the cd to figure out the order.

riff 1

x---x-x---x-x---x-x-
x---x-x---x-x---x-x-
x---x-x---x-x---7-x-
2---2-5---5-7---7-7-
2---2-5---5-7---5-7-
0---0-3---3-5---x-5-

riff 2              riff two has two different rythms at different parts of
                    the song.  it's hard to describe rythms but all i can say
x--x--x--x-         is that the second rythm is more flowing, less sharp
x--x--x--x-
x--x--x--x-
2--5--7--5-
2--5--7--5-
0--3--5--3-

now all ya gotta do is play those over and over.
if you can figure out the solos please post them.

lyrics:

(chorus:riff 1)
heart of darkness
heart of pain
heart of darkness and
it's swimmin' in my veins

(verse 1:riff 2:1st rythm)
sometimes i look around and i just can't belive
what a stinking horrible
motherfuckin' web
i weave around myself
i reach for my friends
seduced by the bottle
and the warmth of a syringe

(chorus:riff 2:2nd rythm)

(verse 2:riff 1)
i live my life
like a terminal patient
i don't make plans man,
just funeral arrangements
(riff 2: 2nd rythm)
like a con, goes down
for twenty years
remembers the faces
of the judge and the jurors

(chorus:riff 2:1st rythm)

(bridge:riff 1)

(verse 3:riff 1)
God loves me, same God loves you
same God loved hitler, man
and them 6,000,000 jews
(riff 2:rythm 1)
must be a con
who won't come down
from the mount
we do a death dance
he does a body count

(chorus:riff 2:1st rythm)
