Joy
the cult - the cult 1994

experiment with the phrasing because I have a hard time writing down exactly what I play on the guitar,
the notes are correct so listen to the song to get the real feel on the riffs. try pre-bending or playing
them as you bend and decide which way sounds more like the real thing
/ - slide
~ - vibratto
. - stacatto
h - hammer on
p - pull off
(5) - grace note (slides)
when use something like 1 1 1 2 3 I'm telling which riffs are played in that place (riff 1 riff 1 etc..)

some pissing about in french
1 1
I poisoned myself but I survived the thrill of life
1 1
I altered my state of mind so I could fly

Travelled beyond my pedestrian ties my inocence and those sweet lies
1 1
I rode in that car as far as it would take me take me
