 D.A.D. "Rim of Hell"
 as performed on the Warner Bros. Album "No Fuel Left For the Pilgrims"
 Transcribed by Anand Kumar (st001904@hrz1.hrz.tu-darmstadt.de; 
 HalfIndy@aol.com), because nobody else wanted to do it!
 Are there really NO D.A.D. Fans out there, uh?
 
 sl = slide
 bu = bend up full note
 8(10) = hold string at 8th fret and bend it as if playing the 10th 
 rb = release bend
 (10)8 = prebend the string while holding at the 8th fret, then release it.
 d = downstroke
 u = upstroke
 [5] = artificial harmonic, hit the string with short side of pick and the
       flesh of your thumb simultaneously, with a little luck the note should
       "sing".
 bq = bend a 1/4 note 
 
 
 I wrote the dudus only to mark the sixteenths. I'm not so sure about some 
 voicings (especially in the PRECHORUS), but I liked the sound of these best
 with the distortion I used. However with other degrees of distortion other
 voicings mind sound more "original".
 
 The intro/chorus-riff and the verse-riff can also be played at the fifth
 fret, if you prefer that position. Just play the same notes as in this 
 transcription, beginning with the A at the fifth fret on the low E-string.

 Okay, now let's forget about rhythm, because I just can't figure it for the
 solo in reasonable time! The bars separate the licks how I see them, this
 has nothing to do with the beat of the song! Just the notes:

 to figure out note by note. Just play ANYTHING and descent to 3rd fret.

 lyrics as in the booklet:
 
 I'll start your day with a shock
 just one of this days 'bout 7 o'clock
 the world will turn into a little rock
 and it's gonna fall down with the sound of a knock
 
 See I'm one of these guys who's nice to know
 coz I know a place to go
 it's just down the generations gap
 I'll take you there in a red hot cab.
 
 And if you want, I mean you really, really want
 I'll show you my hometown and it's down
 yeah, you can  tell by the smell
 so close, you can hear'em yell
 They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell
 Oh Lord, let me live to tell
 
 And meet your host
 lift your glass for a toast...
 Don't be afraid of the colors he wear
 look around, all your friends are hear
 Now don't say you had enough
 stay awhile, stay tough
 grab his horns like you just don't care
 We'll eat his fire and drink what's there-yeah!
 
 Coz if you want- I'll take you down, down-
 I mean you really, really want
 I'll show you my hometown...
 let's stay until the end, the very end!
 And to be saved by the bell
 so close, we almost fell
 They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell
 Yeah, you can tell by the smell
 They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell
 
 to the edge and back and to the edge again
 too hot for the dj and too hot for his friends
 C'mon party!
 
 They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell
 repeat...
 
 The End!
 Correct this, I'll learn it!
