D.A.D. "Rim of Hell"
as performed on the Warner Bros. Album "No Fuel Left For the Pilgrims"

Transcribed by Anand Kumar (st001904@hrz1.hrz.tu-darmstadt.de;
HalfIndy@aol.com), because nobody else wanted to do it!
Are there really NO D.A.D. Fans out there, uh?

sl = slide
bu = bend up full note
8(10) = hold string at 8th fret and bend it as if playing the 10th
rb = release bend
(10)8 = prebend the string while holding at the 8th fret, then release it.
d = downstroke
u = upstroke
[5] = artificial harmonic, hit the string with short side of pick and the
flesh of your thumb simultaneously, with a little luck the note should
"sing".
bq = bend a 1/4 note


I wrote the dudus only to mark the sixteenths. I'm not so sure about some
voicings (especially in the PRECHORUS), but I liked the sound of these best
with the distortion I used. However with other degrees of distortion other
voicings mind sound more "original".

The intro/chorus-riff and the verse-riff can also be played at the fifth
fret, if you prefer that position. Just play the same notes as in this
transcription, beginning with the A at the fifth fret on the low E-string.

Okay, now let's forget about rhythm, because I just can't figure it for the
solo in reasonable time! The bars separate the licks how I see them, this
has nothing to do with the beat of the song! Just the notes:

Then comes a descent over the whole fretboard in A blues, Uuuoof, too much
to figure out note by note. Just play ANYTHING and descent to 3rd fret.

lyrics as in the booklet:

I'll start your day with a shock
just one of this days 'bout 7 o'clock
the world will turn into a little rock
and it's gonna fall down with the sound of a knock

See I'm one of these guys who's nice to know
coz I know a place to go
it's just down the generations gap
I'll take you there in a red hot cab.

And if you want, I mean you really, really want
I'll show you my hometown and it's down
yeah, you can tell by the smell
so close, you can hear'em yell
They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell
Oh Lord, let me live to tell

And meet your host
lift your glass for a toast...
Don't be afraid of the colors he wear
look around, all your friends are hear
Now don't say you had enough
stay awhile, stay tough
grab his horns like you just don't care
We'll eat his fire and drink what's there-yeah!

Coz if you want- I'll take you down, down-
I mean you really, really want
I'll show you my hometown...
let's stay until the end, the very end!
And to be saved by the bell
so close, we almost fell
They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell
Yeah, you can tell by the smell
They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell

to the edge and back and to the edge again
too hot for the dj and too hot for his friends
C'mon party!

They throw the best damn parties at the rim of hell
repeat...

The End!
Correct this, I'll learn it!
