+--------------------------------------+ | Song: Wicked Young Man | | Artist: Alice Cooper | | Album: Brutal Planet | | Year: 2000 | | Tab by: Chamber Zane | | mordacity@antisocial.com | | http://mordacity.tripod.com | +--------------------------------------+ TUNING: D# A# F# C# G# C# (Just tune it to drop D and then take everything down a half step) ___________________________________________________________ INTRO: The harmonic-y sounding thing at the very beginning is easy to do. Once you're in the song's tuning (I think it's something about the slack in the strings that lets you get the effect) put your finger on the third fret of the sixth string right behind the fret WITHOUT pressing down and strike the string. MAIN RIFF: |-----------------| |---------------------| |-----------------| |---------------------| |-----------------| 3x Then |---------------------| |-----------------| |---------------------| |-0-0-3-5-6-6-5-3-| |-6---5---3-----------| |-0-0-3-5-6-6-5-3-| |-6---5---3-----------| VERSE: Gtr. 1 just scrapes the fifth and sixth string open and muted. Gtr. 2 does something like: |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| |-0--3--6----------0--3--6-----6--5--3--------------| |---------------------------------------------------| |---------------------------------------------------| Cold blue.. the ice.. the staples.. CHORUS: I'm not really sure, if anybody can figure it out please send it to me. If you mess around with the chords in the main riff though you can find progressions that sound good with the album. LYRICS: [v1:] Cold blue swastika tattooed on my skin; The ice in my veins, the staples in my chin; I got it carved in my forehead 'slave to my sin'; Too violent for the brotherhood to ever take me in; [v2:] Gonna write down my law in blood upon the street; To the caydence of a goose-step heavy metal beat; Wanna purify my race, gonna turn up the heat; Just wanna make em die and make the job complete; [chorus:] I am a vicious young man; Oh I am a wicked young man; It's not the games that I play; The movies I see; The music I dig; I'm just a wicked young man; [v3:] I like to run my body on heavy heavy fuel; I can punch thru a wall, I can kick like a mule; I got a pocketful of bullets and a blueprint of the school; I'm the devil's little soldier I'm the devil's little tool; [chorus] [v4:] I got every kind of chemical pumpin' thru my head; I read Mein Kampf daily just to keep my hatred fed; I never ever sleep, I just lay in my bed; Dreamin' of the day when everyone is dead; [chorus] [outro:] I am a vicious young man Oh I am a vicious young man I am a vicious young man Oh I am a wicked young man ___________________________________________________________ Questions Comments or Corrections can be sent to Matt (Chamber Zane) at mordacity@antisocial.com You're welcome to distribute this tab as long as it remains unedited.
