                      PISSANT
               from Pisces Iscariot

             Transcribed by Adam Morris

   Tune guitar 1/2 a step down

   D# G# C# F# A# D#

 MAIN RIFF  (These chord changes are quite fast)|----------------------------------------------------||----------------------------------------------------||-----------7--7-7/9-9-9\4---------------------------||-2--2-5/7--7--7-7/9-9-9\4---------------------------||-2--2-5/7--5--5-5/7-7-7\2---------------------------||-0--0-3/5-------------------------------------------|

 VERSE RIFF|----------------------------------------------------||----------------------------------------------------||-------------7\----9\-------------------------------||-2\----2\----7\----9\-------------------------------||-2\----2\----5\----7\-------------------------------||-0-----0--------------------------------------------|

For the weird bendy sound, just slide your finger up
the 5th string (G#, usually A) and bend a fairly high
fret up there :)

Then back to the main riff again for the chorus.

Then another verse and chorus, and then the song
changes, and gets interesting.

This riff is played a few times:

|--------------||--------------||--------------||-2------------||-2-----9--8---||-0--0--7--6---|

Then this:|----------------------------------------------------||----------------------------------------------------||----------------------------------------------------||--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5/7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-------||--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5/7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-------||--3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3/5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-------|

 Then repeat this a few times.|----------------------------------------------------||----------------------------------------------------||--7--7-7-7-7-5--5-5-5-5-----------------------------||--7--7-7-7-7-5--5-5-5-5-----------------------------||--5--5-5-5-5-3--3-3-3-3-----------------------------||----------------------------------------------------|  The back into the main riff and that is about it!

 No solo sorry
