"Freak on a Leash"
Korn
From "Follow the Leader"

Transcribed by G. Katz 

As are most Korn songs, this is just a whole bunch of riffs glued together.
I'll explain which figures go where in a second. NOTE: The original version
of "Freak" is played on a seven string, so I did the honor of transposing it
for maximum ease of play on a six.  For this reason, the song is NOT in the
original key.  Plus, it's originally on two guitars, but can easily be played
on one.

Figure one (Intro and verse):

Gtr. 1:

e----------------7----------------------
B-------5-----------------6------------
G---------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------
A----------------------------------------
E----------------------------------------

Gtr. 2 (Slightly after Gtr. 1):

e---0----3------0---------------------
B--------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------

Fig. two (hit the E string really hard, the A string lightly):

e---------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------
D---------------------------------------
A------5-6-5-0-5------6-7-6---5-6-7-8
E------5-6-5-0-5------6-7-6---5-6-7-8

Fig. three (hit the E string really hard, the A string lightly):

e---------------------
B---------------------
G---------------------
D---------------------
A6-7-6---5-6-7-8
E6-7-6---5-6-7-8

Barre the following chords for Fig. four (see chorus):

A C D

Fig. five (During Jonathan's ad lib):

e-0-0--13-13--0----13-13-12-13-12-13

Fig. six (The "guitar solo:" play with tons of distortion):

Barre: E F F# G


Now here's how it goes:

Intro: Fig. 1 (2x)

Verse 1:

Fig. 1
Fig.1
Fig. 1
Fig.1

Verse 2:

Fig. 1
Fig. 1
Fig. 1
Fig. 1

Bridge:

Fig. 2
Fig. 3
Fig. 2
Fig. 3

Chorus:

A			C		D
A			C		D
A			C		D
A			C		D

Then there's a nifty bass riff that you can play without distortion:

E---5-4-3-2

Verse 3:
