Dead Guy        by Ministry
                from the album "Filth Pig"
                words and music by Al Jourgensen and Paul Barker
                tabbed by Tom Mallon

Note: Anything I've read about this album so far says that the whole thing is
done with guitars tuned down to D. However, this song appears to be in
standard. It might be a little easier to play in Dropped-D, so you can drop
it if you want, it'll sound the same. I don't think all the guitars on the
album are tuned to D, because I've also figured out "Lava" and that's in
Eb.

Intro Riff (Also used after "I'm/you're the dead guy!")
A harmonic at the 4th fret is played in the background here and in a few other
places in the song.

Wah Riff (:49),(2:11)  (Tremolo pick all these. Listen to the
album for the timing. These are not spaced correctly, but close
together for space's sake. They are in actuality way far apart.)

                from Main Riff.)
