======================================================================
Ball Tongue-Korn

There you are, alone, with no hope of ever having
Something to be proud of, something, I'm without begging
Yes I know you're a person, a person close to me
Who do you think you are, what more do you want from me

Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!
(w/ vocal ad-libs)

Why are you home, buried in your self pity
Why do you insist on making a laughing out of me
Yes I know you're a person, a person to tell me
Just give you the right, to expect your life to remove the wrong man

Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!
Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!
(w/ vocal ad-libs)

You were my bride-why does a friendship end
You were my bride-why does a friendship end
You were my bride-why does a friendship end
You were my bride-I'm not gonna give in

You were my bride-why does a friendship end
You were my bride-why does a friendship end
You were my bride-why does a friendship end
You were my bride-I'm not gonna give in

How can you fucking doubt me, but then again...(8x)
(Repeat Verse 1 in the background)

Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!
Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!
Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!
Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!-Ball Tongue!-Dike!
(w/ vocal ad-libs)
===========================================================
I think this one is easy once you get the riffs down. I didn't have time
to tab out all the funky noise Munkey plays, so this is not "complete"--
but really, how many of you have whammy pedals and a rack of effects?

Check out the Korn page at Sony or use the Net Search for "Korn".
Also check Munkey and Brian "Head" in the December issue of Guitar World
(they're in the first section--I think it's called Tune-ups).

More to KoRn to come as well as some Deftones (similar to KoRn) when
classes end.
