Halo Of Flies Chords & Tabs
Title: Halo of Flies
By: Alice Cooper
Found on: Killer
Tabbed by: Trevor Senter, with input from Brian Gaddis
This tab is complete, except for a single part where I
don't even know what's going on with the guitar.
This tab includes transcriptions for two guitars, when
I can tell them apart. When I think they are both
playing the same thing, I just transcribe that part. If
a guitar part comes in, and I don't know which guitar
is playing it, I just write 'other guitar.' This is the
first complete guitar tab I have submitted anywhere, and
it is about 98% accurate. Any corrections or additions
can be sent to Lmpygrvy40@aol.com
h= hammer-on
p= pull-off
/= slide up
\= slide down
.= palm mute
b= bend to...
r= release bend to...
~= use vibrato
x= dead strumming? (not sure what it's called)
Enjoy! _

Play again to the lyrics:
I've got the answers to all of your questions, if you've got the money to
pay me in gold.
I will be living in old Monte Carlo if you will be reading the
secrets I've sold.

More lyrics:
Daggers and contacts and bright shiny limos. I've got a watch that turns
into a lifeboat.
Glimmering nightgowns, poisonous as cobras. Silencer under the
heel of my shoe.

Use earlier riff with these lyrics:

Inaudible guitar, just screw around with the power chords used so far.
And What? A middle-asian lady. She really came as no surprise.
But I still did destroy her. And I will smash halo of FLIES!

Lyrics for previous guitar part:
I crossed the ocean where no one could see
And I put a time bomb in your submarine
Goodbye to old friends, those secrets in hand
With full need of paper and kind tuffy plans (?!?)
You never will understand
