Marilyn Manson Tab for Guitar:
   "DOGMA" off Portriat of an American Family

Tabbed by Daisy Bobbit ([email protected])
Note: Dogma uses a pretty straight forward format. For the solo you will
need to use a wah-wah pedal to create the sound of the guitar in this
section. I used the lyrics to give you placement of the chords within the
song. Enjoy the candy.

Guitar Notation:
1o =fret 10             X =muted strings
~\ =whammy bar down     +1/2 =bend up a half step

(Feedback begins the song)
