          The Outsider (Resident Renholder Remix)- By A Perfect Circle
                             Tabbed by Seismatters

This is that song from Resident Evil: Afterlife (y'know, the good one) that's
played at the end when Sienna Guillory and her army of generic, black-clad 
soldiers go to mess up Mila Jovovich's face or something (I dunno, 
I haven't seen the new one) and also in the fight with Wesker, 
which I will always maintain as the moment where the movies beat the games. 
This was a mother to try and tab and chord, 
but I tried my best and I reckon I got a good result so enjoy.

Here's a link to the YouTube video that I'll use for reference:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hUnuuSL4VQ

Tuned: Standard E

Intro: Okay this is difficult to explain, but the intro goes like so:

     First Part (0:05-0:28):
       Start with G#sus4, but don't play the bottom string. 
       Then you play the bottom string separately.
       Then you switch to G#sus4addA then C#m/G#.

If tabbed, it would look like this:

e|-X-X-X-4-|-X-X-X-4-|-X-X-X-4-|-4-5-5-4-|
B|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-5-|
G|-6-6-6-X-|-6-6-6-X-|-6-6-6-X-|-6-6-6-6-|
D|-6-6-6-X-|-6-6-6-X-|-6-6-6-X-|-6-6-6-6-|
A|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-4-|
E|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-4-|

     Second Part (0:28-0:53):
       Simple. Just hammer a C#m barre chord.

     Third Part (0:53-1:28):
       The same as the first part, except with some minor changes.

       Start with G#sus4, but don't play the bottom string. 
       Then you play the bottom string separately.
       Then repeat the above step, except instead of G#sus4 play G#m11. 
       Then you switch to B9/G# then G#m11#5.

If tabbed, it would look like this:

e|-X-X-X-4-|-X-X-X-4-|-X-X-X-4-|-5-5-4-4|
B|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-5-5|
G|-6-6-6-X-|-6-6-6-X-|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-4|
D|-6-6-6-X-|-6-6-6-X-|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-4|
A|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-4|
E|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-X-|-4-4-4-4|

      For that final part (1:26-1:28) that leads into the first verse, use the 
chords A5/E (It's like Em but down a string) and Asus4.


First Verse (1:28-2:07): 

This first half isn't actually chords. It's single notes on the A string. 
Above each part will be the fret number.

  4
   Help me if you can
                      2
   It's just that this is 
           0       2
   Not the way I'm wired
                       4   
   So could you please,

   Help me understand why
                2 
   You've given in to all these
            0       2 
   Reckless dark desires

   Your

This next part, however, is chords that cover three strings. Each string has
 to be picked in the correct order (Middle, Top, Bottom). 

C#m/G#
   Lying to yourself again
G#sus4
   Suicidal imbecile
Ano5                    G#sus4
   You're pounding on a fault line
C#m/G#                       G#sus4
   What'll it take to get it through to you precious
Ano5                         G#sus 4
   Why would I, why would I, why would I

   wanna watch you?

If tabbed, it would look like this:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/a_perfect_circle/the_outsider_tab_ver_9.html ]
  C#m/G#  G#sus4  Ano5    G#sus4 
e|-X-X-X-|-X-X-X-|-X-X-0-|-X-X-X-|
B|-X-X-5-|-X-X-4-|-2-X-X-|-X-X-4-|
G|-6-X-X-|-6-X-X-|-X-2-X-|-6-X-X-|
D|-X-6-X-|-X-6-X-|-X-X-X-|-X-6-X-|
A|-X-X-X-|-X-X-X-|-X-X-X-|-X-X-X-|
E|-X-X-X-|-X-X-X-|-X-X-X-|-X-X-X-|

Chorus (2:07-2:24):

Once again, the first half is simply single notes from the A string.

  4               2 
   Disconnect and self destruct one 
  0          7 4
   Bullet at a time
                         2             0            7    
   What's your rush now, everyone will have his day to die

The second half of that (where it goes all instrumental) is just:
 
   G#sus4   F#sus4    A5/E    Bsus4  x2


Second Verse (2:58-3:40): 

   That weird riff at the start is:

e|-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-|            / = slide up
B|-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-|
G|-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-|
D|-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-|
A|-3-3-4-3-4-3-/7|
E|-X-X-X-X-X-X-X-|


   The part with vocals is with the following chords (the weird spacing
between words is to try and show cues):

       Asus4 G#sus4  Asus4    G#sus4
   Medicat---ed,     dra---ma queen, 
   Asus4 G#sus4 Bsus4    Asus4    Csus4
   pic---ture   perfect, numb  belligerence,

         Asus4 G#sus4 Asus4 G#sus4        Asus4 G#sus4 Bsus4    Asus4
   Narcissis---tic,   dra---ma     queen, cra---ving   fame and all   it's 
   Csus4
   decadence

   G#sus4
   Lying through your teeth again
F#sus4                     A5/E    
   Suicidal imbecile, well think about it
                              F#sus4
   You're pounding on a fault line
                             G#sus4
   What'll it take to get it through to you precious
F#sus4
   Over this, why do you wanna 
            A5/E
   Throw it away like this
                F#sus4
   Such a mess, well I don't wanna watch you


Second Chorus (3:41-3:57):

   Now there are chords.

G#sus4            F#sus4
   Disconnect and self destruct one 
   A5/E   F#sus4   Bsus4    G#sus4 F#sus4 G#sus4 
   Bullet at       a        time
   F#sus4 G#sus4      Bsus4 G#sus4      C#sus4      F#m      Am     G#sus4
   What's        your rush  now,   everyone    will have his day to die

Bridge (4:05-5:06):

   All it takes are these chords, even throughout the vocals.

   G#sus4 Asus4 G#sus4

   The little transition part between the instrumental and the vocals is:

   G#sus4 Bsus4 Asus4 Csus4 

   Then, once the vocals start (i.e. Lying to my face again...), go back to:

   G#sus4 Asus4 G#sus4

   At the part where he starts screaming, play instead:

   G#sus4 F#m G#m G#sus4

Final Chorus (5:07-5:19):

   This is the part where he only sings 'disconnect and self destruct'.

   Bsus4 F#m G#m 

   When he plays the scream, go back to:

   G#sus4 F#m G#m

Final Part (5:20-5:27):

   Hammer on F#m then slide to G#m
