Song: Helena
Band: The Misfits
Album: Famous Monsters
Tunes: half a step down
Dude,
This is one of my favorites from the Misfits. (It is played a little differently live,
this is pretty much it. If you look at this and then listen to it live, you can figure
out, its EASY!). This is the REAL misfits, not the gay ones today. Oh, these were the
days. Well, I'm not saying I hate the present day Misfits, but they suck compared
what they used to be. Oh, these WERE the awesome days... Hope you like it (well
I don't give a shit 'cause I'm tabbing it anyway you fother muckers!!)
Tuning: half step down (usually for most misfits songs)
