If you've heard the song enough, you should be able to piece it together
from what I have here. I don't think there's much else. There's a little
bit of bending and string-scraping and other such noise right before the
second chorus and in the outro, but nothing a guitarist who wishes to learn
this song can't ad lib himself...
Here's the lyrics:
Choices always were a problem for you.
What you need is someone strong to guide you.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow.
What you need is someone strong to guide you.
Like me. Like me. Like me. Like me.
If you want to get your soul to heaven
Trust in me now don't you judge or question.
You are broken now but faith can heal you.
Just do everything I tell you to do.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
Let me lay my holy hand up- hand upon you.
My god's will, becomes me.
When he speaks, he speaks through me.
He has needs, like I do.
We both want to rape you.
Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now?
Open my eyes, blind me with your light now.
Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now?
Open my eyes, blind me with your light now.
If you want to get your soul to heaven
Trust in me now don't you judge or question.
You are broken now but faith can heal you.
Just do everything I tell you to do.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
Let me lay my holy hand up- hand upon you.
My god's will, becomes me.
When he speaks, he speaks through me.
He has needs, like I do.
We both want TO RAPE YOU!

The outro is basically a bunch of simple improve.
NOTE: the part gets a bit confusing, but there really is two guitar parts there. You can
continue the harmonic section or after the fifth time you play the harmonics you can go
to the palm muted power chords. I personally like the power chords better.
What you need is someone strong to guide you.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow,
what you need is someone strong to use you..
like me,
like me.
If you want to get your soul to heaven,
trust in me .
Don't judge or question.
You are broken now ,
but faith can heal you.
Just do everything I tell you to do.
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow.
Let me lay my holy hand upon you.
My Gods will
becomes me.
When he speaks out,
he speaks through me.
He has needs
like I do.
We both want
to rape you.
Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life.
Open my eyes and blind me with your light
and your lies.
