Halo Of Flies by Alice Cooper

Tabs

Halo of Flies

This song is the best on Killer, and I couldn't find a

tabbed version of the song, but I found a written out
version using only chord names and notes, so I took
that
and transcribed it into tab. Most of it is the other
guys
work but I don't have his name, but I through some in
too.
It's not exact, but it sounds good, so have fun.

|-0-0h1-0-0h1-0-0h1-0-0h1----|
|----------------------------|

play lots of times then have 2nd guitar play:

|-3-3h4-3-3h4-3-3h4-3-3h4-7-7h8-7-7h8-7-7h8-7-7h8-12h13--|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------------------------------|
etc. you get the idea, 2nd guitarist plays same
pattern
higher and higher on the neck

then play rhythm part:
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|-3-2-3-----2-3-2--5-4-5----9/---4-4-4---5-5-5-5--7-7-7-7-|
|-3-2-3-----2-3-2--5-4-5----9/---4-4-4---5-5-5-5--7-7-7-7-|
|-1-0-1-----0-1-0--3-2-3----7/---2-2-2---3-3-3-3--5-5-5-5-|
|---------------------------------------------------------|

lead: Play twice
|----------------------0-1-0----------------|
|---1----3-2-0-3-5-3-1-------4---0-3-0-4-0--|
|-----2-------------------------------------|
|-2-----------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
|-------------------------------------------|
then palm muted rhythm: Play twice
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-/-5-x-5-x-5-x-5-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7---|
|-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-/-5-x-5-x-5-x-5-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7---|
|-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-/-3-x-3-x-3-x-3-x-5-x-5-x-5-x-5---|
pm........................................................


the basic melody that mirrors Alice's vocal line:
|---------------------------------------2-2-2-3-0----|
|-3-1---1-0---------------------0-1-3-5--------------|
|-----2------0-4-2-0-2-2--0-0-2----------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|

|-3-2-0-2-2-2-----0-------------------0-3-2-0-2------|
|-------------1-3---3----------0-1-3-----------------|
|---------------------2-2-0-2------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
continue this through the verses

when Alice ends the verse with the line: "secrets of
soul",
play:
|--3-2--0--2----0----------------|
|------------------3--1--3-------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|
|--------------------------------|

after the long part that begins with "daggers and
contacts
and bright shining limos" play these chords:
|-0--0--3-3---2----0--0--3-3----0------------|
|-1--1--3-3---3----1--1--3-3----0------------|
|-0--0--0-0---2----0--0--0-0----1------------|
|-2--2--0-0---0----2--2--0-0----2------------|
|-3--3--2-2--------3--3--2-2----2------------|
|-------3-3--------------3-3----0------------|


then this again: Play twice during "the elegance of
China"
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-/-5-x-5-x-5-x-5-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7---|
|-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-/-5-x-5-x-5-x-5-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7---|
|-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-/-3-x-3-x-3-x-3-x-5-x-5-x-5-x-5---|
pm........................................................

Play this when Alice yells "Flies!"

|-4--6--7--9--7--6--4--6--7--9--11-14--------|

|-x-x-x-x-x-------x-x-x-x-x---3--5-----------|
