Dead Guy by Ministry
Dead Guy
Note: Anything I've read about this album so far says that the whole thing is
done with guitars tuned down to D. However, this song appears to be in
standard. It might be a little easier to play in Dropped-D, so you can drop
it if you want, it'll sound the same. I don't think all the guitars on the
album are tuned to D, because I've also figured out "Lava" and that's in
Eb.
Intro Riff (Also used after "I'm/you're the dead guy!")
A harmonic at the 4th fret is played in the background here and in a few other
places in the song.

Wah Riff (:49),(2:11) (Tremolo pick all these. Listen to the
album for the timing. These are not spaced correctly, but close
together for space's sake. They are in actuality way far apart.)

Outro Wah Riff (Same deal. For the rhythm, just use the F#5-E5-F#5 part
from Main Riff.)

Another day, another knife in the back
It's happened so many times, I stopped tryin to keep track
You're stuck stickin' it in, you're stuck stickin' it in
Take it up to the hilt to cover up your own fuckin' guilt
And when the shit goes down you're out of places to hide
No time to ask could the motherfucker really survive
Get a load of this fuck, he's the dead guy
It's just a natural? you never fuckin' possessed
You lost control of my life you want control of the rest
You're always stickin' it in, you're always stickin' it in
You stuck it so many times you...
But when the shit comes down you're out of places to hide
Time to ask if you're alive or just pretend that you died
Just remember this fuck, I'm the dead guy
I'm the dead guy
Dead guy
