Marilyn Manson Tab for Guitar:
   "CYCLOPS WOMAN" off Portrait of an American Family

Tabbed by Daisy Bobbit ([email protected])
Note: Cyclops woman uses numerous hammer-ons and pull-offs throughout the
entire song. For the solo you will need to use a wah-wah pedal to create the
sound of the guitar in this section. The second solo section in this piece
is fast and pretty difficult, take it slow then work the solo up to speed. I
used the lyrics to give you placement of the chords within the song. Enjoy
the candy.

Guitar Notation:
+1/2 =bend up a half step       X =muted strings
/s =slide up the fretboard      \s =slide down the fretboard
^h =hammer-on                   ^p =pull-off
1o =fret 10
