Transcribed by Kevin 'Agonymph' Pasman

Tuning: DGCF

Another mid-tempo tune, which is pretty easy to play. That's why I started with 'Thunderhead' and this one :) Enjoy!
The intro is played with some kind of effect, I don't know what effect, since I always play my bass "clean". I've got an Ibanez
GSR-200 and it has the ugly bass sound I want to have already, so why spend my money on expensive effect pedals? However, I think
the intro is more or less like this:

F|----------------|----------------|-------(4)------|----------------|
C|----------------|----------------|-------(4)------|----------------|
G|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------|
D|0-3-----------0-|3-------1-------|0-------------0-|3-------------0-|

Riff A (Play twice):

|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|0-2-3-2-0-2-0-2-|0-2-3-2-0-5-0-6-|0-2-3-2-0-2-0-2-|0-2-3-2-0-6-0-5-||

Riff B:

|0---------------|------------5-3-|0---5-3-----5-3-|0-0-5-3-----5-3-||

Riff C (Play 4 times):

|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------||
|0-0-3-0-6---5-3-|0-0-3-0-6-5-3-5-||

 (1st verse)
  Critical moments pass
  As doctrines of fools will last
  I am just trying to cope
  Into my Horrorscope
  Through eyes and ears they bleed
  Reciting their holy creed
  Heeding but one request
  The future put to rest

Play Riff B once, then Riff C 4 times again

 (2nd verse)
  Bless me in darkened days
  Down to my knees I pray
  I am just trying to cope
  Within my Horrorscope
  In the wake of all frustration
  I begin to lose control

Riff D:
                                                                    2x

 (Pre-Chorus)
  Watched as the weapons fired
  Bombs bursting in the air
  Burned in the fields of fire
  Standing in the middle of nowhere
  Watched as the weapons fired
  Baptized in fields of fire

Play Riff A twice underneath the chorus

 (Chorus)
  The change is here
  And the future clear
  I can feel it coming
  So full of hate
  It's getting late
  Yeah, I know it's coming
  When all the choice
  Turned to just one voice
  Yeah, the wind is turning
  This is your Horrorscope

Riff E (Play 8 times):

|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------||
|0---0---0---0---|0---0---0---0---||

The 8th time, the last measure consists of 8 1/8th notes instead of 4 quarter notes

Then Merritt Gant's most brilliant guitar solo enters, first play Riff C 4 times
As the guitar solo goes on, play the following riff 8 times:

Riff F:

|----------------||
|----------------||
|----------------||
|0-2-2-2-3-2-2-2-||

The solo ends with a D-note held for 4 measures on the 'Horrorscope' album, live DD plays something like this (Fill 1):

|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|----------------|----------------|----------------|----------------||
|0---------------|----------------|0-0---0-0---0-0-|--0-0---0-------||

Play Riff C 4 times

 (3rd verse)
  Words laced with blasphemy
  Drip with sincerity
  Falling into the plan
  Like sacrificial lambs
  Hearing the words unsaid
  Rings like a nail through the head
  Now I can't see the stars
  Know we have gone too far

Now the last Pre-Chorus as well as the last Chorus have a few alterations, please listen to the song for the details.
In the Pre-Chorus it is basically that the first 4 of Riff D measures are only played once instead of twice.

 (Pre-Chorus)
  Watched as the weapons fired
  Bombs bursting in the air
  Baptized in fields of fire
  Watched as the weapons fired

For the Chorus, this means that Riff A is played 3½ times instead of 2 times (the lyrics might help if you don't know what ½ time)

 (Chorus)
  The change is here
  And the future clear
  I can feel it coming
  So full of hate
  It's getting late
  Yeah, I know it's coming
  When all the choice
  Turned to just one voice
  Yeah, the wind is turning
  The change is here
  And the future clear
  I can feel it coming
  So full of hate
  It's getting late
  Yeah, I know it's coming
  When all the choice
  Turned to just one voice
  Yeah, the wind is turning
  This is your Horrorscope

And the song ends with this part:
