   from The Day The Whole World Went Away single (Halo 13)
   Transcribed by Hemi (hemi@as-if.com)

   This song isn't terribly complicated, just whack on some heavy distortion.

   First guitar part, after synth intro:

   D C 
   --------------------------------------------------
   --------------------------------------------------
   --7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--
   --7--7--7--7--7--7--7--7--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--
   --5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--
   --------------------------------------------------

   F G 
   --------------------------------------------------
   --------------------------------------------------
   --------------------------------------------------
   --3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--5--5--5--5--5--5--5/10--
   --3--3--3--3--3--3--3--3--5--5--5--5--5--5--5/10--
   --1--1--1--1--1--1--1--1--3--3--3--3--3--3--3/8---

   The rest of the song continues in a similar chord progression, listen for
   changes.

   Second guitar plays this:

   --------------------------------------------------
   --------------------------------------------------
   --8/10----7----7/9--------------------------------
   ----------------------10--------------------------
   --------------------------------------------------
   --------------------------------------------------

   Lyrics (melody sounds suspiciously like 'The Real Thing' by Faith No More!)

   I listen to the words he'd say
   But in his voice i heard decay
   The plastic face forced to portray
   All the insides left cold and grey
   There is a place that still remains
   It eats the fear it eats the pain
   The sweetest price he'll have to pay
   The day the whole world went away
