Type O Negative - 12 Black Rainbows tab

This is one of my favorite Type O songs.  Its on the album

15 years or so I think i've finally got it nailed.

          yeah



   This took me forever to figure out. There's the descending
part that follows Peter's vocals and Kenny is definitely
alternating between B14 and B12. This is my best guess so far.

Ice cold eyes follow me everywhere i go
Making my heart appear as lead

That i'm quite ready cause i'm already dead
